|valign="top"|A number of recent initiatives, often working at a country or continental level, are making huge strides in regional digitisation, aggregation and visualisation of collections data. Often the intellectual case, methodologies, organisational processes and impact of these programmes are very similar, differing only where regional needs demand a difference in priorities. This suggests that the geo-/bio-diversity informatics community is driving toward a common vision for community activities, and provides the means for less-resourced regions to highlight needs for local investment. But without international coordination, we risk duplicating effort, and subsequently struggle to build upon each other’s work.

|valign="top"|(Paraphrased from abstract). With so many collections embracing the challenges of digitisation, there is a constant need to share progress and learn from each other. This symposium aims to showcase and discuss some key areas of development, including such topics as: artificial intelligence and machine learning, automated data extraction, new data capture workflows, barcodes for automated data capture, lessons learned from crowdsourcing data transcription, measuring cost and impact of collections digitisation to support data-driven decision making - policy - and infrastructure investment, focus on organizational cultural change, private collections, more effective dissemination of workflows, and expansion of stakeholders.

|valign="top"|(Paraphrased from abstract). Rapid advances in data science and technology are transforming biodiversity research. The volume and complexity of biodiversity data being generated, their availability via aggregation, and the interdisciplinary nature of modern scientific research are driving the need for new skill sets to address global scientific issues. Central to addressing the needs of the biodiversity research community is identifying a set of core and transferrable data literacy competencies and developing strategies to help develop a data-literate workforce. This symposium looks at models, lessons learned, and standards and skills knowledge needed across the entire community from data creation to data use.
