Name Alignment Workshop

Big-Bee-Network

Online

18 January 2023

1:00 pm - 2:00 pm PST

Instructors: JT Miller, Jorrit Poelen, Katja C. Seltmann

General Information:

A showcase of Global Biotic Interactions (GloBI) name-alignment-tool, used to align a list of taxonomic names against multiple catalogues. This workshop is directed towards assisting curators in standardizing their collections. The workshop will be one hour and will go through a step by step guide to using the name-alignment-tool including navigating github, editing arguments, and accessing outputs.

Our overall goal of this workshop is to provide a tutorial on the usage of the name-alignment-tool in resolving large taxonomic lists as well as illustrate common issues one should be aware of when aligning names.

Acknowledgments:
