Talia will present with co-author Virginia Scott, ENT collections mgr at CUMNH as they discuss the challenges of merging / sharing paleontological and neontological data together - using the ENT and Paleo experience at CU as an example - and underlying this is the use of Specify as their common database.

ABSTRACT idea: a joint presentation talking about the difference between neontologic and paleo data and use insects/fossil insects as a case study. We could describe which fields are shared, which are unique to our datasets, and then also highlight that even for shared fields, the data do not always mean the same thing. We have discovered this while mapping the Ento data to Darwin Core in the IPT.

Currently on hold - as they have no time to do this. Will try to remember to talk to Talia about this at Digital Data II meeting in June.
