The Global Biodiversity Information Facility Summary 1.Introduction: about this speech… 2.Today: sharing data using existing tools – DiGIR, BioCASe, TAPIR… 3.GBIF Integrated Publishing Toolkit: a new tool for easy data sharing
Introduction The Global Biodiversity Information Facility
The Protocols The Global Biodiversity Information Facility Distributed Generic Information Retrieval (DiGIR) Biological Collection Access Service (BioCASe) TDWG Access Protocol for Information Retrieval (TAPIR)
The Standards Body The Global Biodiversity Information Facility Biodiversity Information Standards (TDWG)
Wrapper tools The Global Biodiversity Information Facility TAPIRLink (PHP) for simple “flat” data BioCASe PyWrapper (Python) for more complex data (e.g multiple identifications) Which to choose? Recommendation today
The Integrated Publishing Toolkit The Global Biodiversity Information Facility The Integrated Publishing Toolkit is under development today by GBIF …to be launched March 2009
The Integrated Publishing Toolkit The Global Biodiversity Information Facility Occurrence data Names and taxonomic data Dataset Descriptive data (Metadata) Use with your own database Upload files (e.g Excel, CSV, Tab files..) Extend the codebase (e.g. Serve more types) Access external services (e.g. Quality Control) Integrated Publishing Toolkit
The Integrated Publishing Toolkit The Global Biodiversity Information Facility TAPIR Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Web Feature Service (WFS) Web Map Service (WMS) Simple harvesting protocol To be a TDWG standard 2008… Taxonomic Concept Schema (TCS) Ecological Markup Language (EML) Protocols
The Integrated Publishing Toolkit The Global Biodiversity Information Facility Discover your data!!! Taxonomic browsing Searching Charts, graphs, maps etc… Issue logs Access services for quality control User feedback captured Web Application …all from an excel spreadsheet!

Future The GBIF Data Portal 1. Improving the data flow Simplified harvesting and data mobilisation 2. Improving quality Registry of external services providers can access Decentralising the reporting of quality 3. Data types Extending the occurrence data model (sampling events, plots, projects) Checklist formats Inclusion of more metadata standards (FGDC BioProfile, EML, ISO etc) Images, multimedia etc 4. Documentation and training Documentation available in many languages Online training (e.g. video casting for installation) Network of “trainers”
