Welcome!
This webinar will take us through the installation of the GBIF Integrated
Publishing Toolkit (IPT). This tool makes it possible to publish biodiversity
data and metadata on the internet, and connect them to different
international networks simultaneously. More info…
This is a preparatory session for the workshop “Data Standards, Data Sharing,
and Demystifying the Integrated Publishing Toolkit (IPT)” that will be
held the 13-14 January 2015 in two venues simultaneously: Gainesville
(USA) and Ottawa (Canada). More info…

«I help biodiversity institutions publish their occurrence and taxonomic data online for
VertNet. I work closely with GBIF and iDigBio to ensure accessibility to data and I try
to participate in activities to improve the quality of the data and advance the
technological infrastructures for sharing and using data online for research.
Additionally, through outreach activities, I try to share this knowledge with other
communities in the interest of growing the content and quality of biodiversity data
available online»

«I’m the IPT project leader. In this role I’m 100% committed to ensuring that the IPT is
a stable and robust tool. What I enjoy most about working on the IPT is having the
chance to collaborate with several other committed volunteers from all over the
world. Together we keep this community-driven project thriving, in that it continues
to meet the needs from an ever-increasing number of biodiversity data publishers.»

«I coordinate training activities at the global level for GBIF. I am passionate about the
use of new technologies in training and education. I would really love to bring to the
world of biodiversity informatics many of the advancements in the fields of education
and capacity enhancement that are creating a revolution in many other fields:
learner-centered education, co-learning, realistic planning and evaluation in learning
processes and much more»
