The EOL Executive Committee Fall Meeting
Posted on
The BA hosted the Encyclopedia of Life (EOL) Executive Committee Fall Meeting on 10 and 11 October 2011, bringing together eminent figures from partner institutions, regional, national and thematic EOLs and other major financial or in-kind sponsors.
Following the EOLv2 launch last month, the committee discussed the Project’s technical requirements in light of the launch experience and ways to support EOLv2.
The BA has taken significant part in the process of internationalizing EOL by re-creating the system in a multilingual format. The BA is currently fostering the creation of EOL in Arabic.
At the BA, the EOL Executive Committee members had the opportunity to meet with the Arab Biodiversity Committee of the EOL Arabic project.
