Add more details about the workshop to index or about

[MathewBiddle]

We also have information in https://ioos.github.io/bio_mobilization_workshop/about/

It would be helpful if we added this information to one of those pages.

What this workshop will cover:

• Darwin Core and the required terms for OBIS and GBIF.
• Typical data cleaning tasks needed to standardize the data.
• Getting your data into a final Darwin Core format.
• Common QA/QC steps, data enhancement, and validation tools.
• Required metadata information.
• How to get your data into the Integrated Publishing Toolkit.
• Tools that will help in all of the above processes.

The goal is that by the end of the workshop you will have a dataset in a final standardized state and shared to OBIS. We are hoping to address some of the blockers that you identified, including: lack of time, training, and specific formatting questions.

We have a short time together therefore our focus will be hands-on work in breakout rooms using the dataset you bring to the workshop. We will not have many presentations and they will be relatively short. Instead we will have large portions of time for you to work on your data and ask questions when you hit a stumbling block. Therefore, if you do not have a dataset to work on you may not find this workshop a good use of your time.

What this workshop will not cover:

• What is OBIS?
• Rationale for sharing data with OBIS.
• Using data that’s already in OBIS.

If you would like to learn more about OBIS and a short rationale for sharing data to it, please watch this two minute video and this two minute video and share them with those you want to work with to share data.

So, do we put this in about or add to the general information on the home page?

I think it fits in better on the general info.

[albenson-usgs]

Agree

[MathewBiddle]

Sounds good. I'll work on the change.
