1 Data Models to share invasive species information through the Global Invasive Species Information Network (GISIN) Annie Simpson, Jim Graham, Elizabeth Sellers, and Michael Browne Biodiversity Information Standards-TDWG 2008 Annual Meeting, Fremantle, Australia

2 Unknown Species, Causing Harm

3 Sharing Invasive Species Info

4 Current Status of Info Sharing

5 Studies of Invasive Species Online Databases  About 300 freely available online, with invasive species information  Only about 30 countries have their own online invasive species databases  With about 195 countries in the world, we have large data gaps

6 Global Invasive Species Information Network  Has been in existence since 2004 with the purpose of providing a platform to share IAS information via the Internet and other digital means.  http://www.gisinetwork.org http://www.gisinetwork.org

7 2004: Global Experts Meeting to implement GISIN (Baltimore) 2005: Cooper & Browne create IAS-PS Brief history of GISIN 2006: TDWG Invasive Species Interest Group 2007: Test implementation of data sharing protocol at the GISIN portal 2008: 1st and 2nd data providers' workshops (June & August)

8 GISIN Participant Diversity  Invasive species information managers can be roughly grouped into 3 categories:  Online database owners/operators  Those seeking to create an invasive species information system  Scientists collecting invasive species information, but not databasing it

9 GISIN Progress  Our "standards options"  Part of the Observations Interest Group, or separate? (Separate)  Create a schema that is all inclusive like the IAS-PS, or minimalist like the GISIN protocol? (Both, but implement the simple one for now)  Use DiGIR to share information, or something new? (Something new)  Use the TAPIR protocol, or TAPIR-light? (TAPIR-light)  Darwin Core and Dublin Core and LSIDs and what taxonomic information service?

10 GISIN Workshop Sponsors  Group on Earth Observations  US National Biological Information Infrastructure  US National Aeronautics & Space Administration

11 GISIN Early Adopters  Five data providers so far:  SERC-NEMESIS (Smithsonian Environmental Research Center's National Exotic Marine and Estuarine Species Information System)  FishBase (Global Fish Information System)  NIISS (US National Institute of Invasive Species Science)  I3N-Argentina (Agentine database of the Invasives Information Network of the Inter-American Biodiversity Information Network)  GLIFWC (US Great Lakes Indian Fish and Wildlife Commission)

12 How has TDWG failed us?  GISIN has been encouraged to develop itself as an extension to Darwin Core  Element designation example: Temnothorax  But "dc:" means Dublin Core!  Proper abbreviation is "DwC:"  Difficult to be an extension of a 'standard' with so many 'flavors'

13 How has TDWG failed us?

14 Standards Creation Protocol  How many people to include?  How do we know when we've reached agreement?  How long will it take?  What should our product look like?

15 TDWG is overwhelmingly supported by academicians who enjoy solving biodiversity data problems with complex solutions.

16 Not always best to do as told Aristolochia flower although used in medicine is poisonous

17 TAPIR Compliant  Ping: Simple call to insure the service is available  Metadata: Default operation to retrieve basic information about the service  Capabilities: Requests which operations are supported and for which Models  Inventory: Requests the type of records a provider has for a particular Model and, optionally, how many  Search: Requests a set of requested records for a particular Model

22 Data Model Summary  Three stable GISIN data models:  Occurrences (based on Darwin Core)  SpeciesStatus (native or not, harmful or not, etc.)  ResourceURLs (where results are lists of URLs containing a species profile, image, video, reference list, or experts list)  Four more under development:  ManagementStatus  DispersalStatus  ImpactStatus  Citations
