Dear all,

 

Just to give you a flavour of the abstract I promised, here’s a quick narrative.

In the original abstract for the Symposium I asked for reference to geochemical metadata to be added. We have major issues with metadata becoming disassociated with collections both by researchers in house analysing our collections and not sharing their data and also from material provided by loans for destructive analysis that are subsequently published. For some (?most) rock collections, an image is not that useful but a geochemical characterisation is vital. Currently we are neither storing this data or delivering it in a coherent manner. This is inherently linked to taxonomy as some rocks can only be characterised by geochemical analysis and often the data in our registers or on our labels, uses out of date terminology or precedes analysis. As a museum we have many requests for destructive analytical sampling of palaeontological collections, so this situation is not just related to rocks.

I have been corresponding with Kerstin Lehnert who runs the Earth Chem portal (NSF funded). She has also put in for a symposium at this meeting S175 relating to “Linking specimens and physical samples through standardised identifiers and metadata: the last mile”. Earth Science is mentioned there in relation to international geosample numbering. There’s a danger that unless I can show clearly how storing and delivering this type of data supports Biodiversity (I’m working on gathering some examples, if anyone has some good ones to add I’d be happy to hear from you), then any abstract I submit gets pushed onto another symposium like this S175.

As a result, I’m thinking of a title along the lines of “The importance of storing and delivering geochemical metadata for Earth Science Collections”.

Happy to take comments or suggestions. I’m in meetings all afternoon so any abstract I submit will not be until tomorrow morning at the earliest.

All the best,

Giles

Dear Johanna, 

 

thank you to bringing this up. At the moment we have one abstract accepted and two promised. 

 

One topic which should be submitted at least is the recently published paper about disasters evidences in earth science collections. I was expected to receive this. If nobody is picking this up I will try. The deadline for submission is tomorrow. Still with this one and two promised (if they arrive) we will have 4 talks for 90 minutes, which is again a risk of cancelling the symposia and distribution those talks to others.

 

Thank you,

please do not hesitate to contact me or the group, if you have any idea or will to contribute. 

 

Kind Regards,

Jiri

Hi

 

Am around to help proofread as needed.

Předmět: Fwd: [CETAF_ESG] Call for abstracts deadline extended for Biodiversity_Next

 

Dear colleagues,

 

I know, I am very late just emerging again (due to the elvaluation process and commission visit this week). However, it would be very appropriate to submit one or another abstract either from the ESG or from individuals. I suppose that many topics relevant also for ES are already covered with the symposia topics. Nevertheless this symposium offers a chance for us.

 

Could we exchange ideas today ....

 

Best Johanna

 

Below in brief from the conference website:

Symposium title: The role of earth science collections within biodiversity research.

objective:


Earth Science collections, like Life Science collections, have an important role in biodiversity research as they provide evidence for the evolutionary history of organisms, as well as helping to understand the impacts of natural hazards, disasters, and environmental and climate change.



The general aim of this symposium is to discuss and present the importance of Earth Science collections in biodiversity research and other cross-disciplinary subjects. The symposium is related to the implementation of metadata standards, publication of collection data via data portals, tools for mapping the data and conducting quality checks discussed at the TDWG Paleo Interest Group meeting.



The symposium will be open for talks related to Earth Science collections and research with special focus on the following topics:



- The role and implementation of fossil taxa in the taxonomic backbone (e.g. Catalogue of Life) and the role of geochemical data in related platforms.



- Defining minimal, optimal and full requirements for data records in digitised Earth Science collections.



- Implementation and usage of existing metadata standards and controlled vocabularies for Earth Science collections.

- Data portals, search and presentation platforms for Earth Science collections access, research and outreach.

Dear colleagues,

 

Since today we received just very few proposals for presentation in our symposium "The role of Earth Science collections within biodiversity research" in Biodiversity next conference in Leiden. https://biodiversitynext.org/list-of-symposia-and-workshops/

 

The abstract submission deadline has been extended till the end of this week (email bellow).

 

If you are intending to contribute by your presentation to the symposium, with scope focusing on Earth Science, please do so as soon as possible. Also please spread this request within your colleagues with potential interest to contribute. We have a great chance to discuss this topic within broader and important research community during this event.

 

I am afraid, if the number of presentation for the symposium is too low, the symposium will be cancelled and the presentation will be distributed within available tracks.

 

Please do not hesitate to contact me, if you have any question.

 

Kind Regards,

Jiri

Předmět: [tdwg-content] Call for abstracts deadline extended for Biodiversity_Next

 

The deadline for the Call for Abstracts for the joint Biodiversity_Next conference in Leiden, The Netherlands, 19-25 October 2019 has just been extended to 5 April 2019. This conference also serves as the annual meeting for Biodiversity Information Standards (TDWG). With over sixty programmed symposia, workshops, and other events the conference will bring together major international organisations, research scientists, and policy makers to look at the horizon of data-driven biodiversity and geodiversity research and uses.

 

Make sure to submit your abstract by this new 5 April deadline. Conference registration is scheduled to open 26 March with a limited number of super early bird registrations available. Sign up on the website for latest news, follow biodiversitynext on Facebook and Twitter @biodiv_next and use #biodiversity_next. Please spread the word to your networks!
