Integrated Digitized
Biocollections (iDigBio) is NSF's national resource for facilitating and
enabling the digitization of biological and paleobiological collection objects
in non-federal, U.S. biodiversity collections. Through its portal it makes
available data and images for millions of biological specimens in electronic
format for the research community, government agencies, students, educators,
and the general public.
Using schema.org
and microdata for data discovery (Douglas Fils, Consortium for
Ocean Leadership)
HTML5 developments in the area of
microdata have provided methods for resource discovery based on structured data
embedded into HTML pages. Combined with the schema.org Dataset
and other vocabularies this facilitates a means to bring structured data about
scientific data resources to web pages. This talk will demonstrate
examples of these patterns applied to data.oceandrilling.org and other sites. It
will further provide live examples of these patterns and discuss methods that
could be used to enhance domain specific data offerings.
The format is 20 minutes per presenter, with
two main parts: (a) a show-and-tell presentation of the science and the
resource (b) discussion of the key informatics needs that the resource is
facing. The intended audience for this webinar is professional
paleogeoscientists and cyber/computer scientists. All webinars will be
recorded and publicly archived at http://workspace.earthcube.org/c4p/content/c4p-webinars.
