Timeslot 2 (WEST) Session #2: SYNTHESYS+ Virtual Workshop on Collection

Recording #2

This first in a series of virtual workshops organized under the alliance for biodiversity knowledge aims to help us develop a common international vision for the scope, content and services for a catalogue of the world's natural history collections.  

Because of the global focus of this discussion, we wish to encourage the widest possible participation from members across the biodiversity knowledge community. You don't have to manage a collection or directly use their materials to consider joining the discussion—fresh perspectives may make it possible to identify uses of data and information from a catalogue of collections not previously envisioned.
