Registered attendees will receive a link via their registration confirmation email for abstract submission and may submit abstracts for posters and/or presentations. Abstracts should not exceed 200 words. Multiple abstract submissions are permitted.

Oral presentations and posters should emphasize the use of digital data for biodiversity research, inclusive of the neontological and paleontological domains.

Suggested Themes for Presentations and Posters might include:

  • published or publishable biodiversity research that depends on digital datasets,
  • systematics and the use of digital data,
  • ongoing research projects that derive from and use digital datasets,
  • gaps and deficiencies in currently available digital data that hinder effective use,
  • user critiques of digital data aggregators and providers,
  • integrated digitization/data use/research pipelines,
  • standards and practices for depositing and documenting open access digital datasets,
  • the role and relevance of “Big Data” in biodiversity research,
  • use of digitized biodiversity data within the ecological sciences,
  • the relative importance of digital data derived from specimens vs. observations,
  • managing digital biodiversity data in support of research pipelines, and
  • analyzing and visualizing biodiversity digital data.
