Action 2: Research what has been happening with iDigBio and report to the group (Shelley)

[DNAdl8]

Email from Shelley 25th Oct 2017: There has been a little bit of progress, mostly due to the ingestion team brining in the Guelph BIOUG datasets. I've activated the Sequences search option in production, so its now easier to find these: https://www.idigbio.org/portal/search?rq={"associatedsequences":{"type":"exists"}} Mike Trizna also recently gave a talk at TDWG about this: https://doi.org/10.3897/tdwgproceedings.1.20320

The broad summary is that its still really hard and we're not quite sure what do with this information, but we might be slowly getting to the point of doing something like this:

using specimen based data.
