[Taxacom] Online taxonomy meeting at the Linnean Society of London, 20 September 2012

[Ian Kitching]

ONLINE TAXONOMY MEETING: 20 SEPTEMBER 2012, LINNEAN SOCIETY OF LONDON

Is the Internet really making taxonomic information more accessible to
its many actual or potential users? Certainly much effort is being made
to put such content online, but how effective are we in achieving this
end? This one-day meeting, with its line-up of international speakers,
aims to provide an update on progress. It will feature a number of
substantive online taxonomy initiatives and a critical review of the
current position. The meeting will address the question of whether
users' needs are being met and will conclude with a talk (also serving
as an Evening Lecture) on the use of informatics in related disciplines.
The event should appeal to all producers and users of taxonomic data.
