This course is a collaboration between the Diku-funded University of Oslo project BioDATA, the BMBF-funded project Caucasus Barcode of Life (CaBOL), and GBIF - Global Biodiversity Information Facility.
Dates
GBIF course on data management skills 15 - 18 June 2021.
For students in Georgia and Armenia.
Duration
Four days, plus eight hours in preparatory time.
Scope
Data management skills for accessing and publishing data through biodiversity data platforms. This is an observation/specimen -> published record course that does not include wet lab steps.
Aim
This course will teach how to use DNA barcodes, collection and observation data to resolve research questions in biodiversity. The four-day intensive programme will use a combination of lectures, tutorials, and hands-on exercises. You will learn to handle biodiversity data including DNA barcoding. You will gain practical experience in using open and digitally documented biodiversity data through GBIF and BOLD to answer biodiversity research questions. You will understand and practice capturing observation, collection, and genetic data from analogue and digital sources. Finally, the course provides basic skills in data publishing through GBIF.
