The last edition of our Community Meeting took place on Monday, 24 November.
Niels Raes (Naturalis Biodiversity Centre) and Urmas Kõljalg (University of Tartu) presented Biodiversity Meets Data (BMD), an EU-funded project aiming to create a centralised Single Access Point (SAP) for natural resources managers and policymakers to support biodiversity conservation across Europe. The slide deck is available here.
Then, Eli Chadwick (University of Cambridge) introduced the RO-CRATE profile being developed within the BGE project. RO-Crate is a mechanism for packaging research outputs with structured metadata, providing machine-readability and reproducibility FAIRly. The slides are available here.
Finally, some updates from the Working Groups (here in the recording):
- The Working Group on Training launched a survey to identify its main priority.
Anyone can fill it in by 7 December, even if you’re not a WG member – it takes about 3 minutes, and it will benefit the WG greatly! - The Working Group on Reference Library has a new co-chair to work with Georgi Bonchev: Michał Grabowski. The group presented their key objectives, which are indicated in Georgi’s slides.
The Community Meetings are free to join for all iBOL Europe members. You can join our community here – that’s also free!
