Glad to have you onboard!

Researchers from the Marine Mammal Research division at Aarhus University and the European Tracking Network group at the Flanders Marine Institute met in Begium at VLIZ to discussion our big data goals. Image is of 9 researchers standing outside in the wind in front of a building.

Last week, @mialybkaer.bsky.social, Ellen Jacobs, and I traveled to @vliz.be as part of the @dtobioflow.bsky.social project! We got into the nitty gritty to bring #porpoise pod 🔊 data to the #DataLake via @aquatictracking.bsky.social. Very excited to make this #bigdata 🔢📈 project a reality.

✅ DTO-BioFlow Second Workshop wrapped up!

3 days of skills, standards & collaboration to support data flow to EMODnet & the Digital Twin Ocean.

🎥 Team interviews + 📘 training tools for data providers coming soon.

Final day of the #DTOBioFlow Workshop kicked off with sessions on metadata, IPT (by @GBIF), and quality control tools from @lifewatcheric.bsky.social & @EMODnet Biology.

“Data is the treasure, metadata is the map.”

This afternoon: hands-on sessions continue.

DTO-BioFlow Day 2: value standardisation, Darwin Core eMoF, and now a live transformation demo.
Hands-on session up next.
