Dear colleagues, A couple of years ago we announced the launch of GlobaLID (Global Lead Isotope Database, https://doi.org/10.1111/arcm.12762). Ever since, GlobaLID constantly grew and eventually acquired funding for transforming the prototypes into the full-fledged digital data infrastructure TerraLID. It is our utmost pleasure to invite you to the webinar that kicks-off this transformation process. It will take place on Tuesday, 14 May at 4 pm CEST (= 2 pm UTC) via Zoom. The webinar will not take longer than 2 hours. The link to the Zoom room is https://thga-de.zoom-x.de/j/67811470019?pwd=V1NyMDYvQ2J1c05sQzhuU2FaUGJqZz09 (meeting ID: 67811470019, passcode: 510759) The webinar will showcase the current features of GlobaLID with a small sample dataset (download it here to follow along<https://archmetaldbm.github.io/Globalid/assets/Kick-off_Example.csv>). Subsequently, we will present the vision and planned features of TerraLID and how you can shape its development. Moreover, our regional editors will share some impressions from the current work. There will be ample time for questions and discussions. We aim to develop TerraLID as close to the needs of the community as possible. Therefore, this event will be the first in a series of virtual open events, where we will ask for your feedback on crucial parts in the design of TerraLID. Stay tuned! We are looking very much forward to seeing you on 14 May. Please do not hesitate to reach out in case of any questions or technical difficulties. Best wishes, Thomas and the GlobaLID/TerraLID team
