| + __Workshop goals are__:\\ \\ |
| + *1. Review existing data registries and supporting technologies.\\ |
| + *2. Perform cross-walk of registry elements from selected data registries.\\ |
| + *3. Evaluate capacity of a standardized data registry for meeting needs of broad biological sciences community.\\ |
| + *4. Assess usability of existing registries.\\ |
| + *5. Identify needed functionality for data registry search engines.\\ |
| + *6. Examine how existing data registries can support NEON and other national, continental, and global environmental observatory networks.\\ |
| + *7. Determine next steps for promoting data discovery in biology.\\ |
