Abstract


This session is to discuss the current use of the Economic Botany data collection standard (published as a hard copy publication in 1995). In TDWG terms this is a “prior” standard (http://www.tdwg.org/standards/103/)

Revision of the standard was discussed at a BioCultural Collections meeting (http://ceeb.econbot.org/) held in June 2013. The proposed revision could be used as an opportunity to canvass opinions on who uses the standard, what use cases they have and what future direction we should take.
