Latimer Core Workshop

This workshop will give an overview of the newly ratified Latimer Core (LtC) TDWG data standard for describing groups of objects in natural science collections. In this workshop we will take people through Latimer Core and its different applications in collections both small and big. We will give worked examples and examples of pilots use cases at different institutions. This will include the capturing of collection descriptions data prior to collection moves, or as a first pass to allow discovery and documentation prior to specimen-level digitisation.
