Bio Data Mobilization Workshop
The IOOS Marine Biological Data Mobilization Workshop curriculum trains data providers to prepare and publish biological occurrence data as Bio-Eco Essential Ocean Variables, following Darwin Core standards and contributing to OBIS and GBIF. Developed as a contribution to the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development.
