Registered attendees will receive a link via email for abstract submission and may submit abstracts for posters 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. | |||
Suggestions for Abstract and Poster Topics 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. | |||
