GBIF data publishing workshop in Tromsø, September 2016

GBIF Norway (GBIF.no) and the Norwegian Biodiversity Information Centre (Artsdatabanken.no) organize a seminar on data publishing in Tromsø on 7th and 8th of September 2016. The seminar is suitable for all institutions, companies and other stakeholders that are engaged in registration of, or have plans to start registration of species-based biodiversity data. The seminar will cover the importance of collecting and publishing species-based biodiversity data, and describe some of the methods for data registration and data publication. Following the seminar on day 1 we will organize a training workshop where all participants will get basic skills for preparing and standardizing their own datasets. On day 2 we will be available for individual support with data publication. To sign up for day 2, you should already have datasets that are ready for publication. We plan to complete as far as possible the data preparation and data publication during the hands-on workshop.
