'''''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.

=== Directions ===
'''Arriving by bus'''

You can easily reach us by De Lijn buses. Line '''R50''' (Brussels-North - Meise - Londerzeel) stops right in front of the main entrance (stop Plantentuin Meise).

There is a bus service every 15 minutes on weekdays and Saturdays, and every 30 minutes on Sundays and public holidays. Plan your route here.

Payments can be made contactless on the bus, or you can download the De Lijn app and purchase your ticket(s) in advance. The app also offers (most of the time) live tracking of the bus, in case you are afraid of missing the bus stop.

For more information go to https://www.delijn.be.

'''Arriving by train'''

Take the train to Brussels-North or Londerzeel station.

Go to the NMBS website (https://www.belgiantrain.be/en) for the most recent travel information or use the NMBS app.

At the station, take bus R50, which will take you to the main entrance of the Botanic Garden.

'''Arriving by car'''

Meise Botanic Garden is situated along the A12 (Brussels-Antwerp). Take exit 3 Meise. Parking is available at the Empress Charlotte entrance.

The parking fee is €7. Exit tickets can be purchased at the following locations:

* at the ticketmachine in the parking lot
* at the ticketmachine on the Welcome Square
* at the ticket counter
* via contactless payment at the barrier upon exiting
Upon presentation of your parking ticket, you will receive a 3.5 euro discount in the Garden Shop (with a minimum purchase of 5 euros).

Short-term parking of up to 45 minutes is free. License plate recognition will automatically open the barrier when exiting within this time.

Our parking area offers 18 charging stations for electric vehicles, allowing you to conveniently recharge your car during your visit.

'''International visitors'''

From Brussels Airport we can be reached by a direct De Lijn bus connection (Zaventem-Merchtem line 21).

If you arrive by international train into Brussels-Midi, first take the train to Brussels-North where you will then take a direct bus connection (Line R50) to the main entrance of the Botanic Garden.

=== Hotels ===

Some suggestions of Hotels and BnBs are given here (will be updated later on). Using the bus to reach the botanic garden, you can also look for a hotel closer to the city center of Brussels (e.g. close to the 'Tour&Taxis' area).

=== 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.
