INFORMATIONFACILITY DarwinCore Germplasm Extension and deployment in the GBIF infrastructure GLOBALBIODIVERSITY TDWG 2009, Montpelier, November 12, 2009 Dag Endresen (NordGen) & Samy Gaiji (GBIF) WWW.GBIF.ORG

Topics for this session • Darwin Core (2009) • DwC Germplasm Extension (DRAFT 0.1) • Germplasm Extension Terms • Mapping to the Multi-Crop Passport Descriptors • Integrated Publishing Toolkit (IPT) • IPT Germplasm Extension

Darwin Core (2009) • The Darwin Core should be viewed as an extension of the Dublin Core for biodiversity information. • The purpose of these terms is to facilitate data sharing • a well-defined standard core vocabulary • a flexible framework • to maximize re-usability • The Darwin Core can be extended by adding new terms to share additional information. • http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/

DwC star schema • Star schema model • Can relate elements one-to-many

DwC Germplasm Extension • DwC Germplasm Extension (DRAFT 0.1) • August 26, 2009 • The DarwinCore Germplasm Extension • additional terms • to describe germplasm samples • maintained by genebanks worldwide • http://rs.nordgen.org/dwc/ http://www.nordgen.org/epgris3/wiki/index.php/DwC_Germplasm

DwC Germplasm Extension • DwC Germplasm Extension (DRAFT 0.1) • Modelled starting from the Multi-Crop Passport standard (MCPD, 2001) • Includes the new terms for crop trait experiments developed as part of the European EPGRIS3 project. • Includes a few additional terms for new international crop treaty regulations.

DwC Germplasm (1)

DwC Germplasm (6) • GermplasmDistribution • Perhaps add new terms to facilitate the reporting of germplasm distribution for the ITPGRFA (International Treaty for Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture) • GermplasmManagement • The Millennium Seed Bank (Kew) has contributed feedback to the DwC-G modeling and proposed to include a number of seed management descriptors. • Seed processing terms • Seed cleaning • Seed germination testing

Mapping of DwC-G terms to the MCPD descriptors

GBIF Informatics Suite • GBIF Decentralization Strategy (WP 2009-2010) • Customized biodiversity data networks • Tools to empower decentralized thematic or regional networks

IPT • Project site: http://code.google.com/p/gbif-providertoolkit/ • IPT DEMO. http://ipt.gbif.org/ • IPT LITE DEMO: http://ipt-lite.gbif.org/index.html • IPT Mailing List: http://lists.gbif.org/mailman/listinfo/ipt/ • GBIF HIT: http://code.google.com/p/gbif-indexingtoolkit/ • GBRDS: http://code.google.com/p/gbif-registry/

GBIF IPT • The GBIF IPT is an open source, Java (TM) based web application that connects and serves primary biodiversity data. • The data registered in the IPT is connected to the GBIF distributed network and made available for public access. • Designed to decentralize and speed up the process of indexing (large) biodiversity occurrence datasets. • IPT also provides a local tool for data quality assessment to data publishers.

GBIF Integrated Publishing Toolkit (IPT) • Java 1.5 or higher is required • Apache Tomcat is recommended (1 GB RAM+) • GBIF IPT is provided as a WAR archive (for easy deployment) • GeoServer is included for web mapping (OGC Compliant, WFS, WMS, etc) • H2 Embedded Java Database (with JDBC interface and web console) • Hibernate (object relational mapping)

IPT Interfaces • REST XML • TAPIR • DwC Archive • OGC (WFS, WMS, Web Mapping) • EML (Ecological Markup Language)

Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A) • DwC-A publish dwc records including extensions • Simple text based format • Zipped single file archive Germplasm.txt http://code.google.com/p/gbif-ecat/wiki/DwCArchive

GBIF IPT The GBIF IPT service has a graphical interface to the datasets. Including a map, pie charts, or the right side context menu (taxonomy and geography).

The IPT user interface includes the extensions

XML interface includes the extensions

GBIF IPT implements the Darwin Core Standard; and provides an interface to easily build extensions to the core Darwin Core terms. The draft germplasm extension is one example of how-to extend the Darwin Core terms for the GBIF IPT.

Using GBIF technology (and contributing to its development), the PGR community can easily establish specific PGR networks without duplicating GBIF's work. The compatibility of data standards between PGR and biodiversity collections made it possible to integrate the worldwide germplasm collections into the biodiversity community (GBIF, TDWG).
