Last Monday, we held our final Community Meeting of the summer, and here we come with highlights and references of what we discussed.

Ben Price (NHMUK) and Stephan Kuehbandner (SNSB) presented the reference library curation tool developed within the BGE project, which is available for download here (for Linux and Mac, see this GitHub repository). Both Ben and Stephan would be very happy to receive feedback on the tool, so if you have any, please let them know!
Ben’s
 slides are here; Stephan’s are here.

Then, Onno Calf (Naturalis Biodiversity Center) presented the Dutch Target List, developed by the ARISE project. There are quite a number of gaps yet to be filled in the database, so if you can contribute to filling those gaps, please reach out to the ARISE team. Onno’s presentation is available here.

Lastly, we received updates from the Working Groups, presented by their respective co-chairs. All of them have progressed in structuring their work plans. Here are the links to the presentations from the Data Standards, Reference Libraries and Training Groups.

We’ll meet again on 29 September.

The Community Meetings are free to join for all iBOL Europe members. You can join our community here – that’s also free.
