Topic: Web presence (website + portal) What can we do?

Have a specific call on "How are you using the iDigBio data?" Create “iDigBio data use case stories" for the carrousel. Start from internal case, but in addition,

it is important to have people not from Florida. Do a second survey on the website to see if it is better with time and increase of comfort/usage. Need to get specific information on the frustrations people may be facing. Perhaps an easier

way to get feedback on the portal (a permanent link to a survey). User experience (UX) experiments to gather immediate feedback for specific tasks to be

performed on the website/portal Discussion & Facts:

There are two separate types of designs: for search and for navigation. How do we showcase all types of statistics about reaching out? For example, that workshops do

include a diverse group of people. The bottleneck is to get the stories, and not on publishing and sharing the story. On the various ways to survey, it is necessary to weight how intrusive it is. Blaine Marchant is one user of iDigBio data, who also compiles data from GBIF and BISON to be

able to use georeferenced data into niche modeling. How iDigBio differentiates from GBIF/BISON? How attribution works? iDigBio can have more

information than what is available of GBIF. iDigBio does not have to compete with GBIF.
