Group Charter

MRTG is a joint task group of GBIF and TDWG. You can examine its Charter or just the charter Summary:

"The goal of this Task Group is to evaluate schemas and standards for collation, management and dissemination of multimedia resources relevant to biodiversity. Through propagation of such standards, the Task Group intends to bring about cultural change in ways that multimedia resources are currently created and managed. Another aim of the Task Group is to develop schemas that could support the collection of primary biodiversity data associated with multimedia artefacts."

Participation

Participation is welcome. You don't have to register for the wiki just to read it. If you wish to participate in the discussions here, please register at the Create Account link on Special:RequestAccount. If you are not a member of the Task Group, please be sure to identify your interests in the account creation page.

If you create new pages, please add the string

{{MRTG}}

to the top of the page. This wiki template will force your page to be in the MRTG wiki Category to make it easier to find. It will also add some other MRTG discussion attributes as we might from time to time desire to apply globally to the MRTG discussions.
