Hi Carolyn, We work with MIMSY XG and were fortunate enough to have a former entomologist on our documentation staff for a while. She did a lot of the taxonomic mapping to the database. Happy to discuss over beer too.

It seems to have been causing great debate in Leics. I am looking forward to finding solutions - but I get the feeling from talking to people that is the needle in the haystack. Oh well! -----Original Message----- From: The Natural Science Collections Association discussion list [mailto:[log in to unmask]]On Behalf Of Irwin, Tony Sent: 16 April 2009 16:37 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: MMxg Hi Carolyn I think you will be enjoying some long evenings in the bar if taxonomy and documentation are on the agenda ...! Too little time to respond by e-mail, but will be pleased to chat about what we've done, at the conference.

Little has been established in Mimsy XG and I have been asked to address this for our collections. I have moved into the unit from an outreach background... so all new to me! If anyone can send me screen dumps for their natural history pages, it would be a great help to myself and colleagues. I am trying to work out how people have dealt with the taxonomy issues that seem to be causing the blocks. I will be very grateful - beers will be the bribe offered at the conference as thanks! I am looking forward to meeting folks! Best wishes Carolyn Holmes Norfolk County Council - a four star authority.
