SYM29 Specify Spotlight: Enhancing biodiversity data management
Session Type: Symposium; Open to abstract submissions
Conference Track: SPNHC
Organizers: Theresa Miller, Grant Fitzsimmons, Andrew Bentley
The Specify Spotlight session aims to showcase the role of Specify software in enhancing biodiversity data management. This session will provide a platform for users of Specify to share their experiences, demonstrate its usage, and discuss the impact it has on their work.
The session will feature presentations from several users who will highlight their projects involving Specify software for research, data management, and collaborations. The presentations will cover a diverse range of topics, including collection digitization, data integration, and specimen tracking.
In addition to user presentations, a member of the Specify Consortium team will deliver an overview of the latest features, updates, and future developments in Specify 7. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and engage in discussions about best practices, technical support, and potential future collaborations.
The Specify Spotlight session welcomes participation from both in-person and virtual attendees. We encourage researchers, data managers, and biodiversity professionals interested in or users of Specify to attend this session to learn from real-life examples, discover new possibilities, and network with fellow users and experts.
Please join us at the SPNHC-TDWG 2024 conference to explore how Specify software enhances local capacity and contributes to elevating global standards in biodiversity data management.
