This workshop provides an overview of the newly ratified Latimer Core (LtC) TDWG data standard for describing groups of objects in natural science collections. We take people through Latimer Core and its different applications in collections both large and small. We share worked examples and provide pilot use cases from different institutions, including the capture of collection descriptions data prior to collection moves, or as a first pass to allow discovery and documentation prior to specimen-level digitisation.
