Fourth IABIN Council Meeting Support to Building the Inter-American Biodiversity Information Network

Fourth IABIN Council Meeting Project Basics Aim: To provide support to the World Bank in completing preparation of GEF project documents, and in aspects of project development and supervision Funds: Japanese Consultants Trust Fund available to support the World Bank in carrying out aspects of its work

Fourth IABIN Council Meeting Project Execution Nippon Koei an independent Japanese consulting company providing technical support to developing countries and countries in transition UNEP World Conservation Monitoring Centre an inter-governmental agency supporting development of information services to underpin biodiversity conservation and sustainable use

Fourth IABIN Council Meeting Background Studies The main part of the project has been the development of ten background studies intended to brief World Bank staff and their collaborators on key issues. The key issues to be covered were identified by the World Bank, and were intended to draw on experience from outside the region.

Fourth IABIN Council Meeting Background Studies The studies follow a standard format which includes both introduction to the issue and drawing recommendations relevant to IABIN out of experience in other regions. Associated with the background studies are 20 case studies from outside the region thought to be relevant to implementation of IABIN.

Fourth IABIN Council Meeting Background Studies Document 1 - IABIN in the Context of Key International Programmes and Initiatives in Biodiversity Information Sharing provides an overview of IABIN in the context of other key international programmes and initiatives in biodiversity information management Document 2 - Biodiversity Information for Decision Making – International Experiences examines the needs and evolving use of biodiversity information for decision-making, and how that experience can assist and inform IABIN

Fourth IABIN Council Meeting Background Studies Document 3 - Linking Biodiversity Information with Non-biological Networks reviews lessons that IABIN can learn from what has been done elsewhere in linking biodiversity information with socio-economic and other data Document 4 - Recommended Standards and Practices for Sharing of GIS-based Information provides guidance on standards and practices that facilitate exchange and compilation of spatial information amongst a network of institutions

Fourth IABIN Council Meeting Background Studies Document 5 - Role and Use of Biodiversity Indicators at the Regional Level reviews the potential role and use of indicators at the regional level in the context of both national interests and broader international policy agendas Document 6 - National Strategies for Effective Biodiversity Information Management provides examples of strategies for information management and exchange that facilitate effective use of biodiversity information for national benefit

Fourth IABIN Council Meeting Background Studies Document 7 - Taxonomic Authority Archives, Networks and Collections reviews selected taxonomic authority archives, and describes key taxonomic databases and electronic reference sources Document 8 - International Initiatives in Biodiversity Vocabularies and Thesauri reviews the international vocabularies and thesauri that may be usefully adapted to facilitate information exchange at the regional level

Fourth IABIN Council Meeting Background Studies Document 9- Recommendations on Bio-informatics Standards and Practices for Donor Financed Projects (not available yet) will help the World Bank to more effectively address biodiversity information management issues in future development projects

Fourth IABIN Council Meeting Background Studies Document 10 a) Review of International Initiatives in Metadata Management b) Review of Experience in Developing Interoperable Systems for International Data Management and Sharing reviews two additional technical issues important for networking, metadata management, and experience in developing interoperable systems

Fourth IABIN Council Meeting Summary Conclusions The background studies provide a range of information relevant to implementation of IABIN, ranging from information policy to information management practice. There are more than 80 recommendations based identifying how this information and experience could be applied to help successfully build IABIN.

Fourth IABIN Council Meeting Summary Conclusions Overall approach: build on existing strengths - adopting, adapting and implementing technical standards, reference authority archives, methods and approaches that have been successful elsewhere focus on supporting regional needs for decision-making - providing information exchange capacity directed at solving identified problems

Fourth IABIN Council Meeting Summary Conclusions Strategies and policies: focus on issues of mutual concern in the region based on identified information needs adopt and adapt best practice from other regions support and facilitate national CBD Clearing-House Mechanisms adopt and support indicator frameworks related to existing international processes and targets

Fourth IABIN Council Meeting Summary Conclusions Strategies and policies (continued): clearly identify roles and responsibilities in developing and implementing the network agree clear data access policies and procedures based on the needs of all stakeholders develop IABIN as a facilitator of information exchange rather than a data repository

Fourth IABIN Council Meeting Summary Conclusions Reference archives and harmonization tools: facilitate access to taxon-based information held by institutions within the region improve access throughout the region to specialised taxonomic reference archives consider promoting the use of internationally adopted thesauri and vocabularies promote development and/or adoption of a map-based ecosystem classification system consistent across the region

Fourth IABIN Council Meeting Summary Conclusions Technical standards: clearly identify and document user needs for information exchange and interoperability services and related applications before choosing and implementing technical standards always emphasize agreed “open” standards and systems rather than proprietary solutions

Fourth IABIN Council Meeting Summary Conclusions Technical standards: accompany technical standards with: –semantic standards for data content in order to make data integration meaningful –policies on data ownership, access and protection, –recognition of the importance of maintaining and sharing metadata

Fourth IABIN Council Meeting Access to the Documents This presentation is based on a project summary document that is already available at this meeting in English The summary has been translated into both Spanish and Portuguese at Nippon Koei’s office in Peru, and is available in both these languages as well as in its original English The full reports are the property of the World Bank, and they would need to take a decision on the appropriateness of wider access
