Hey GCG!
Do you do a lot of georeferencing when digitizing your geological
and related collections? Or, perhaps you are training others to do
so? This Darwin Core Hour may be of special interest and relevance
to you.
One week from today - find out precisely where you are - via
Darwin Core Hour #6:
Where am I, exactly? Darwin Core Georeferencing Terms
Abstract:
In this chapter of the Darwin Core Hour series, we will look in
depth at two Darwin Core georeferencing terms that can be
confusing when sharing location data:
coordinateUncertaintyInMeters and coordinatePrecision. We will
cover these specific Location terms, along with related terms
needed to understand their definitions, importance, and uses.
Finally, we will use these terms to demonstrate the process by
which community feedback leads to improved Darwin Core
documentation. Please bring your insights, community experience,
and questions surrounding locality data issues.
Presenters: David Bloom, John Wieczorek
Date, Time: Tuesday, 11 July at 8am PDT, 11am EDT, 12pm GMT-3
