13:00 - 17:00 EDT
Instructors: Mathew Biddle, Laura Brenskelle, Steve Formel, Elizabeth Lawrence, Tylar Murray, Carolina Peralta, Jonathan Pye, Tim van der Stap

This workshop is intended to be a small hands-on, interactive virtual workshop focused on mobilizing marine biological observation datasets to the Ocean Biodiversity Information System (OBIS) by helping data providers standardize their data using Darwin Core including species observations from any type of sampling methodologies (e.g. visual surveys, net tows, microscopy, fish trawls, imaging, ‘omics, acoustics, telemetry).
What this workshop will cover:
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:
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.
Where: This training will take place online. The instructors will provide you with the information you will need to connect to this meeting.
When: April 22-23, 2024. April 24th will be an optional day to attend for Workshop Participants if they require additional help. Add to your Google Calendar.
Requirements:
Accessibility: We are dedicated to providing a positive and accessible learning environment for all. Please notify the instructors in advance of the workshop if you require any accommodations or if there is anything we can do to make this workshop more accessible to you.

To participate in a workshop, you will need access to software as described below. In addition, you will need an up-to-date web browser.
We maintain a list of common issues that occur during installation as a reference for instructors that may be useful on the Configuration Problems and Solutions wiki page.
If you haven't used Zoom before, go to the official website to download and install the Zoom client for your computer.
Like other Carpentries workshops, you will be learning by "coding along" with the Instructors. To do this, you will need to have both the window for the tool you will be learning about (a terminal, RStudio, your web browser, etc..) and the window for the Zoom video conference client open. In order to see both at once, we recommend using one of the following set up options:
