ALERC

Talking about Darwin Core and how the @NBNAtlas uses it keeps throwing up interesting tangents of the data management quirks we all live with. The ideal is that we'll all use the same standards eventually, but until then... #NBNConf18

As someone passionate about the complementary roles of national schemes and local records centres I am very happy about this announcement from @_BTO and @_ALERC_ at #NBNConf18 😀 twitter.com/_BTO/status/10…

Who do you want to target with the BioBlitz? A suggestion for the model BioBlitz #NBNConf18 @BioBlitzUK

“A day in the life of a #LERC” Network Knowledge Exchange session has just off to a cracking start #NBNConf18

It's been a great morning of speakers. Now a chance to network and see the fab displays and demonstrations. Recap and prepare for knowledge exchange sessions. #lunch #NBNConf18

Andy Musgrove from @_BTO has announced that local environmental records centres will be allowed to use BTO's cc-by-nc data on the NBN Atlas. BTO are the biggest species data providers on the @NBNAtlas #nbnconf18

A review of the #BiologicalRecording Infrastructure in #Scotland has been published today by @SB_Info_Forum . It makes 24 recommendations to improve geographical and taxonomic data coverage and accessibility of wildlife data in Scotland. More: ow.ly/DsYS30mBYMn

Fabulous venue for #nbnconf18... we are really excited to be here.

#SBIFReview has been a collaboration informed by an Advisory Group of 16 government and non-government bodies, interviews with 42 organisations, 290 public questionnaire responses, and 4 workshops attended by 39 organisations! Download your copy bit.ly/2B59pjB

Meanwhile at the @ZSLScience Living Planet Seminar the #StateOfNature & @RSPBScience 's Richard Gregory tells us about nature data and its use in the UK

Another day, another event demonstrating why wildlife data (and YOUR records) are so important. And why it's even more important that they are put to use - globally and locally!

LERCs also work closely with/in support of Invasive Species Initiatives helping to ensure that organisations with responsibilities are aware and can plan and deliver positive control measures and monitor outcomes.

If you have a passion for data and London’s natural environment, and believe that decision-making based on good quality information is vital, don’t miss this exciting opportunity to join GiGL. We're recruiting for a Database Officer: gigl.org.uk/jobvacancy/dat…

@ConservationJob Thanks @ConservationJob for mentioning #NBNConf18! This year's conference theme is: "The NBN in a changing climate". To see the line-up of impressive speakers: ow.ly/OQcg30milcY

@iGiGL @ArcGISOnline Huge thanks to Paul for filling in at the last minute too.

Now on to the workshops. Some of us are learning how local environmental record centres can use ArcGIS online to provide services to partners #ALERC18 @ArcGISOnline

@iGiGL The #SBIFReview has underlined to @SNH_Science how important R6 is to Biodiversity data management, however.

The consultation of R6 users shows a strong user case of the need to keep something going. And there might be a willingness to support a different business model but national agencies aren't really that interested in funding it. #alerc18

Updates on Recorder6, all the dark green areas use Recorder6 regularly. The consultation also found people using all features! #alerc18

#ALERC18 And now an update on ongoing developments with Recorder 6 from @SxBRC Manager, Clare Blencowe

Meanwhile, as @burkmarr tells us all about ongoing development of @biolinks plug-ins for qgis tools, tumbleweed blows through the coffee area. #alerc18
