TDWG conference in Fremantle
TDWG held its annual conference in Fremantle, WA, 19-26 October 2008. This was the largest TDWG meeting ever, with around 180 participants from all continents, including 60 from across Australia.
Over the five days of the main conference a large number of presentations were given on many aspects of biodiversity informatics. The programme from the conference is available online at http://www.tdwg.org/conference2008/program/ and includes links to the presentations, many of them with audio captured on the day. Abstracts for all presentations are included in the Proceedings of TDWG 2008 (also available as a PDF).
The Wednesday morning sessions were dedicated to an exploration of Australian biodiversity informatics and of the services under development as part of the ALA. Links to all of these presentations are included on this page.
On Wednesday afternoon participants joined workshops to explore user requirements for the ALA and to consider approaches to addressing them. The results of these workshops will be incorporated into the ALA user needs analysis report which will be issued shortly.
