For the 8th European Nodes Meeting we invite all nodes staff and invited representatives to join a hands-on workshop of one and a half day, on Monday 18th and morning of Tuesday 19th, April 2016, to explore how to prepare and publish sample-based dataset using the new Event core. The introduction will include a presentation of some examples of existing Event core datasets already published in GBIF. The focus of the workshop will be hand-on work divided in groups around sample-based datasets the participants of the workshop have been asked to prepare and publish in GBIF. Please let us know in advance if you have such datasets. Please also prepare and share some basic metadata for your datasets.

Sample-based data come from thousands of different kinds of environmental, ecological, and natural resource investigations. These events range from one-off surveys to ongoing monitoring and include activities like freshwater and marine sampling, plant cover and vegetation plots, and citizen science bird counts, among others. The Darwin Core extension for sample data is a major advancement that will enable data holders publishing through the GBIF network to share population abundance data (including time series population data) or presence/absence data, and also to document the sampling protocol.

The workshop will take place at the same venue of the 8th European GBIF Nodes meeting.
