Breakout 2 – Group 3 Dan Stoner, Marcia Mardis, Jose Fortes, Cheryl McLaughlin, Blaine Marchant, Betty Dunckel, SarfarazSoomro, David Jennings, Andrea Matsunaga, Cathy Bester iDigBio Retreat June 30, 2014
Topic: Web presence (website + portal) • What can we do? • Have a specific call on "How are you using the iDigBio data?" • Create “iDigBio data use case stories" for the carrousel. Start from internal case, but in addition, it is important to have people not from Florida. • Do a second survey on the website to see if it is better with time and increase of comfort/usage. • Need to get specific information on the frustrations people may be facing. Perhaps an easier way to get feedback on the portal (a permanent link to a survey). • User experience (UX) experiments to gather immediate feedback for specific tasks to be performed on the website/portal • Discussion & Facts: • There are two separate types of designs: for search and for navigation. • How do we showcase all types of statistics about reaching out? For example, that workshops do include a diverse group of people. • The bottleneck is to get the stories, and not on publishing and sharing the story. • On the various ways to survey, it is necessary to weight how intrusive it is. • Blaine Marchant is one user of iDigBio data, who also compiles data from GBIF and BISON to be able to use georeferenced data into niche modeling. • How iDigBio differentiates from GBIF/BISON? How attribution works? iDigBio can have more information than what is available of GBIF. iDigBio does not have to compete with GBIF.
What is iDigBio summit? • Participation: • iDigBio + 3 representatives of TCNs • The next one will include RCNs. • Content: • Overview of each project • Break out session with specific themes/topics • Demonstration session • All event is broadcast through AdobeConnect • Not good for remote participation (only broadcast)
