<p>Hello to all BID folks!<br>
<br>
Got 3D data and image files? Or maybe you will in the future.
How are you sharing, storing, and managing this information?
Wondering what others are doing to make media, and 3D in
particular, more accessible? From the scientific collections
perspective, please join us for our upcoming Darwin Core Hour
Webinar: Audubon Core and 3D Biodiversity Data: Metadata,
Practice, and Unification of Efforts<br>
<br>
We encourage people to bring or submit questions for discussion

Abstract: A growing mode of digitization of natural history
collection objects is 3D digitization, which includes three main
acquisition techniques: surface scanning (structured light or
laser scanners), volumetric scanning (microCT or MRI), and
photogrammetry (structure from motion). There is now burgeoning
interest in and tremendous need for describing 3D data files
with standard vocabularies in the interest of promoting broad
accessibility and long-term digital preservation. Audubon Core
is an existing vocabulary and extension to DarwinCore that is
used to describe digital media files representing natural
history objects. It is not an entirely new vocabulary with many
terms borrowed from Dublin Core, Darwin Core and more. It also
intended to describe different kinds of digital data
representing different creation methods and file formats. We
overview several different 3D data collection modalities
specifying the details needed for understanding how 3D data was
generated and processed. We investigate the utility of Audubon
Core for describing these 3D modalities. Questions we ask are
which existing terms can be used for describing new 3D
modalities, whether new terms are needed, whether certain 3D
modalities need specific terms not applicable to other
modalities, what 3D data formats should be emphasized for
preservation and access, and how to pursue formally acquiring
new terms either through creation of new vocabularies or
extending existing ones.<br>

Darwin Core Hour Series Abstract:<br>
Darwin Core has become a broadly-used standard for biodiversity
data sharing since its inception as a standard by the
organization Biodiversity Information Standards (TDWG) in 2009.
Despite, or because of, its popularity, people trying to use the
standard continue to have questions about how to use Darwin Core
and associated extensions. This webinar series looks at open
questions related to Darwin Core. Though the topic is broad,
individual chapters in the series will focus on specific topics
to any adequate level of depth. We encourage people to bring or
submit questions and to have open discussions in each webinar
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://bit.ly/dwchour-input">https://bit.ly/dwchour-input</a>). See
