Two  things  we  needed  at  the  outset:    1.  Clear,  biologically  relevant  standards  to  guide  data  acquisi-on  and  distribu-on.  

2.  A  strong  sense  of  effec-ve,  community-­‐based  digi-za-on  workflows  and  prac-ces.

MISC  Goals  

The  product  of  the  MISC  working  group  was  designed  to:  •  provide  detail  to  the  data  model,  •  reflect  a  biologist’s  or  collec-on  manager’s  perspec-ve,  •  ensure  that  all  data  currently  or  poten-ally  stored  in  collec-ons  

databases  are  accounted  for,  •  evolve  over  -me,  •  Priori-ze  data  elements  as  required,  highly  desired,  or  supplementary,  •  take  a  scien-fic  perspec-ve  on  data  fitness,  •  start  with  Darwin  Core  as  a  founda-on  and  augment  from  other  

schemas  where  necessary,  •  map  MISC  to  exis-ng  schemas.

In  March  2012,  the  Steering  CommiYee  established  a  series  of  prepara+on-­‐specific  digi+za+on  training  workshops  focused  on  helping  collec+ons  managers  get  started  with  and/or  enhance  local  digi+za+on  programs,  all  to  be  held  at  host  ins+tu+ons.

Developed  a  community-­‐oriented  digi+za+on  resources  wiki  in  support  of  our  workshops  and  to  serve  digi+za+on-­‐related  informa+on  across  all  prepara+on  types.    Established  a  digi+za+on  list  serv  to  promote  workshop  follow-­‐up  as  well  as  community  discussion  and  sharing.
