Dear readers,
A belated Happy New Year to all! And we hope that you have had a great start of 2024!
As we continue our support to strengthen our community of practice in Asia, we have laid out a series of topics that we would like to introduce and discuss in the coming Asia Office Hours. Some of them include:
- Training and learning resources from GBIF
- How to take a self-paced Biodiversity Data Mobilization Course
- Data Use Club
- Occurrences filter on gbif.org
- Data paper
- GRSciColl intro & workflow
- Using GBIF-mediated data
- GBIF supported data types and data quality requirements
- OpenRefine API feature
- OpenRefine other features (eg: faceting, clustering)
- Date capture/ formatting
- Data management/validation tools
- GBIF data validation tools
- Data publishing/IPT
- Georeferencing using Geopick tool
- Republishing dataset into production IPT from datasets published in test IPT
- Hosted Portals
We won't necessarily run these topics in the order they are presented here, but we will announce the topic of the week here prior to the scheduled Asia Office Hour. So if you are interested to revisit or learn more, be sure to watch announcements on this list (https://bit.ly/gbif-asia-mailing).
For each topic we will prepare a short presentation, then together with participants we can discuss, gather feedback, or share more information.
This Thursday we will begin by introducing "Training and learning resources from GBIF".
