RESPONSE from TDWG-GBIF DQIG. They plan to discuss details for this at their upcoming May 2017 meeting in Canberra. Lee Belbin and Arthur Chapman have said yes. Currently, the times and dates are set for: 7 AM Wed Sept 6th (Tasmania time), 5 PM Tuesday Sept 5th (USA EDT), 6 PM Tuesday Sept 5th (Buenos Aires), Tues Sept 5th 21:00 UTC. NOTE the challenge to advertising across the international dateline. This will be DwC Hour number 8.

Talia Karim has said yes - and suggests the following scenario. Her timeline is "fall" and we're deciding what that means exactly. She would present with co-author Virginia Scott, ENT collections mgr at CUMNH as they discuss the challenges of merging / sharing paleontological and neontological data together - using the ENT and Paleo experience at CU as an example - and underlying this is the use of Specify as their common database.

ABSTRACT idea: a joint presentation talking about the difference between neontologic and paleo data and use insects/fossil insects as a case study. We could describe which fields are shared, which are unique to our datasets, and then also highlight that even for shared fields, the data do not always mean the same thing. We have discovered this while mapping the Ento data to Darwin Core in the IPT.

Combining Neo+Paleo will be in September 2017.

[garymotz]

@debpaul We've now got Neo+Paleo scheduled in September with TDWG-GBIF DQIG already having selected a September date. Do we need to resolve the conflict or have two webinars in September?

We may need to clarify on https://github.com/tdwg/dwc-qa/wiki/Webinars.

2 in September 🤗

VertNet available after 14 August and needs only about 20 minutes.

[debpaul]

@tucotuco could you please ping Canadensys to see if they'd like to present with you - and what date works for them? (if you have time).
