Latimer Core is now open for public review until 12 January 2024. Latimer Core (LtC) is a data standard for describing collections, designed to support the representation and discovery of groups of items that are encompassed in collections and their subcomponents.

For those of you doing #EcologicalMonitoring, note that a group at #TDWG, led by Yanina Sica, has been working on a set of global data standards for ecological monitoring, called the #HumboldtCore. This builds on the widely used #DarwinCore that is used for museum collections and casual observations (it's the biodiversity data sharing standard that makes #GBIF possible).

This month the final draft of Humboldt Core is open for public feedback at https://github.com/tdwg/hc/milestone/1
