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 😀 teapawt.net/_BTO/status/1065252655…

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
