Online Taxonomy Meeting at Linnean Society of London
I'm going to this - feel free to come too.ONLINE TAXONOMY MEETING
20 SEPTEMBER 2012, LINNEAN SOCIETY OF LONDON
Is the Internet really making taxonomic information more accessible to its many actual or potential users? Certainly much effort is being made to put such content online, but how effective are we in achieving this end? This one-day meeting, with its line-up of international speakers, aims to provide an update on progress. It will feature a number of substantive online taxonomy initiatives and a critical review of the current position. The meeting will address the question of whether users’ needs are being met and will conclude with a talk (also serving as an Evening Lecture) on the use of informatics in related disciplines. The event should appeal to all producers and users of taxonomic data.
