[Medin_dacwg] further advertising of MEDIN workshops

[Gaffney, Sean P.]

Dear members of the MEDIN Standards and DAC Working Groups,

Along with the strapline for advertising the workshops which was sent out to you recently, MEDIN would be grateful if you could, if possible, pass on the following text to your stakeholders, in order to maximise awareness of the upcoming MEDIN workshops.

Regards,

Sean Gaffney
MEDIN

---------------------------------
"MEDIN are pleased to announce another series of their very popular and well received workshops on marine data management, for the coming year. Three free one-day workshops will take place in September 2016, November 2016 and in January 2017. These workshops are designed to help individuals and organisations make their marine data holdings discoverable and re-usable by future users.

The workshops are modular, with a morning session on MEDIN Data Guidelines and an afternoon session on the MEDIN Discovery Metadata Standard and tools. MEDIN are happy for users to attend either the full day or just the morning or afternoon session, as best suits individual needs.

This year sees a change in approach to the session on Data Guidelines. Whereas before the focus was one particular Guideline, MEDIN are now going to personalise each session, with the guidelines to be worked through varying between attendees, depending on their individual data requirements.  One session may therefore cover Data Guidelines on bathymetry and biodiversity and geophysics, depending on who attends. MEDIN will contact registered attendees in advance of the workshops to identify which guidelines suit their data.

For full information on the workshops, and to register, please go to http://www.oceannet.org/marine_data_standards/workshops.html"
