Goals for Identifying iNaturalist Observations
Identifying observations for iNaturalist has some overall goals, and this ID-athon has some others.
Overall goals:
- improve iNaturalist data by providing data
- giving observers names for their organisms
- having fun (I think identifying is better than computer solitaire and just as addictive.)
- learn about identification (especially when we're wrong)
- improve the photos used by the computer that does ID's for Seek and iNaturalist
The May ID-athon that I'm participating in has additional goals:
- reducing or eliminating the "unknowns" in several selected countries
- learning more about the iNaturalist identification process
Others?

I can add: Developing community networks in support of Ids of specific species.
Participating in regional projects such as the Suriname project headed by Gerry out of London.
Collecting a large set of recommended references that can be shared.
Oh and making weird art work from the cool findings. Just for fun. 😊
