Becoming a GBIF Data Provider

This training event is primarily aimed for GBIF's nodes in North America. Status of the event is CONFIRMED.

Implementation of the GBIF network requires knowing how to use the various software tools. The most basic requirement is to set up a node and operate a data provider application on a server computer. GBIF's standard for data provision is the DiGIR protocol. This course covers installation of the DiGIR provider on both Windows and Linux platforms.

This event is hosted by the Canadian Heritage Information Network (CHIN). Canadian museums work together to strengthen our collective ability to create, present and manage Canadian online content. This collaboration has resulted in CHIN's internationally valued Web site for heritage professionals, and the highly successful portal, the Virtual Museum of Canada.
