Hi Everyone,

Please join us tomorrow for Darwin Core (Quarter) Hour - Extensions in Short!

Time Date: 9 AM EDT, 2 PM London, 4 PM Kenya ON Thursday 5 October WHERE: http://idigbio.adobeconnect.com/tdwg2017

Abstract. In this special Darwin Core Hour webinar we will tackle a topic that annoys some, excites others, and (at times) puzzles the rest of us: Darwin Core Extensions. As existing extensions are being used increasingly by the biodiversity informatics community and as the number of new extensions that are being proposed grows rapidly, it is important to understand what they refer to and why they are becoming so popular within the community. By exploring some examples, we will try to answer the following questions: What are extensions? How do they work? And, under which circumstances would I ever use them?

Presenter: Paula Zermoglio Moderators: Holly Little, Dag Endresen, David Bloom
