PubMLST forum on data curation

M & ID Section Head and Administrator

We are organising a forum to bring together existing curators and anybody who has a potential interest in joining the team.

PubMLST hosts a collection of curated databases that integrate population sequence data with provenance and phenotype information for over 100 different microbial species and genera. Many of the databases are overseen by an international community of curators whose role is to ensure that data match basic quality criteria and are entered consistently.
We are organising a forum to bring together existing curators and anybody who has a potential interest in joining the team – all are welcome. Topics discussed will be:
•	The role of curators
o	Ensuring alleles are correctly defined.
o	Ensuring isolate provenance (meta) data are reliable and as complete as possible.
•	The process of handing submissions
•	How curation can be improved with automation
o	Field validation using allowed values and range constraints
o	Required, optional, or expected fields
o	Defining and applying field rules
The forum will be held on February 5 via Zoom. We would be delighted if you could join us.
