=== Notes ===
==== DiSSCo and CMS: Steps towards interoperability ====
* Proposal to compile a collective list of questions for DiSSCo → group agreed to proceed [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_FOsep7OR93rp5tV66D1XTagKtXcNejQNVhXKtjW3sU/edit?usp=sharing Questions for DiSSCo]
* Organise a meeting with DiSSCo to clarify the questions that have arisen. This meeting is expected to be more technical in nature.
==== DiSSCo Digital Specimen (DS) Enrollment ====
* Reminder: Deadline for first dataset selection is 31 October.
* Purpose: Support strategic onboarding of specimen datasets into DiSSCo infrastructure.
* DiSSCo will mint Digital Specimen DOIs free of charge for institutions worldwide.
* Limitation: Only 20 million DOIs will be created in 2025; pre-registration secures a place on the waiting list.
* [https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dissco.eu%2Fds-enrollment%2F&data=05%7C02%7Ce.haston%40rbge.ac.uk%7C0c565166da194636bd4f08ddf9eca283%7Cbb63bb00175e46b7b7b3bc74158e4fd4%7C0%7C0%7C638941516977279560%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZs Registration link and further information available.]
==== Specify 7 ====
* Inquiry into whether Specify uses controlled vocabularies from existing standards and how DiSSCo standards could be mapped to it.
**Response: Controlled vocabularies in Specify are defined by the institution using the system.
* It was noted that as open-source software, Specify allows development of additional clip-on applications.
* [https://www.specifysoftware.org/about/governance/ Information shared on Specify Consortium governance].
* Question raised about integrating AI for automatic data completion into Specify 7.
** Response: AI cannot work inside Specify directly, but data from Specify can be processed using AI externally.
* Invitation to attend a Specify training event in [https://bit.ly/3KCbD03 Madrid, 9–12 December], also open to institutions considering joining the Specify Consortium.
==== Establishment of CMS in smaller collections: support through documentation and other measures ====
* It was decided that a wiki page should be set up to provide an overview of the information and services available to smaller institutions.
==== Structuring the CMS subgroup on the ISTC-Wiki ====
* Suggestion to share CMS-to-Darwin Core mappings
==== AOB ====
* Call for additional co-conveners for the subgroup.
* Suggestions for future meeting topics should be sent to the organiser.

'''''Developing technical services for our community'''''

The Information Science & Technology Commission (ISTC) facilitates dialogue and collaboration between the IT departments of CETAF member and non-member institutions to ensure institutional interoperability through the development of common infrastructures and standards. The group works towards compatibility of components for digital information exchange and sharing, through procedural changes and adaptations to IT systems.

Members of the ISTC officially represent IT or Biodiversity Informatics departments of [https://cetaf.org/ CETAF] institutions. The group was established as a technical working group of the EU-funded project European Distributed Institute of Taxonomy ([https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/18340 EDIT]) and was integrated into CETAF in 2011.
