Becoming a GBIF Data Provider

This course is mainly intended for GBIF nodes in Asia and Oceania. Status of the workshop is CONFIRMED.

Others who may be present in Tsukuba for GB7 and NODES4 meetings will be accommodated if space allows, but will not necessarily have access to training computers, and should really consider attending a course in their own region. Getting a full benefit of this course requires technical skills -- see the course description from "see the agenda" below.

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.
