Biodiversity Data Quality Symposium: Developing a Common Framework to Improve Fitness for Use of Biodiversity Data

INVITATION

The São Paulo Research Foundation, FAPESP, within the scope of the BIOTA-FAPESP Program, and the Research Center on Biodiversity and Computing, of the University of São Paulo (BioComp-USP), invite to the

March, 8th, 2016
8h30 to 17h00
FAPESP – Rua Pio XI, 1500 – Alto da Lapa – São Paulo

Experts who are working with the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) and the Biodiversity Information Standards (TDWG) will discuss the latest on the development of a common conceptual foundation for biodiversity data quality (DQ). Practical aspects, including the identification of DQ requirements for species distribution modeling and for agrobiodiversity, and the development of a catalog of DQ tools and services will also be discussed. It is an excellent opportunity for researchers and students those involved with biodiversity data to learn about the latest findings of the group and to get involved.
