description: Recent years in the field of biodiversity specimen research has seen an increase in investment in the Digital Extended Specimen Network (DES), focused on the augmentation and interconnection of primary specimen data with other data types (e.g., trait, measurement, and genetic data), sources, and products. Several independent groups have made progress on supporting extended specimen data, yet the software and cyberinfrastructure to support the DES writ large is still lacking. In this workshop, we aim to bring together creators of extended specimen data and those designing the technology to support these data to work through hands-on data use cases to determine what is working, what is still needed, and how progress can be made toward the DES vision. This two-hour workshop and discussion session will bring together biodiversity informatics and data experts from throughout our community to address some of the possibilities and challenges implementing the Digital Extended Specimen concept. We envision that the series of talks and topics will be as follows: Larry Lannom: Overview of the work of the Corporation for National Research Initiatives (CNRI) toward realizing the Digital Extended Specimen Network; what challenges are they facing and what needs input from the broader community? Tim Robertson and Laura Russell: Overview of GBIF and work towards mobilizing extended specimen data through their new data model Jorrit Poelen: Open Traits/Global Biotic Interactions as a Digital Extended Specimen use case; What does a decentralized extended specimen look like? what roadblocks did he encounter when building this resource, and what is still needed to better combine the data? Sharif Islam (DiSSCo): how is DiSSCo harmonizing extended specimen data across their network; what challenges are they facing and what needs input from the broader community? Following these informational presentations, we will assemble breakout groups that will tackle use cases to what linkages and tools are needed in the biodiversity data community to support the connection and curation of Digital Extended Specimen data and, critically, the adoption and use of extended specimen data. We encourage participants to bring ideas, use cases, and questions for the discussion portion of the session.
