  1. Towards Global Observation Networks: GBIF’s plans for mobilising Primary Biodiversity Data Vishwas Chavan and Eamonn O Tuama Global Biodiversity Information Facility Copenhagen, Denmark Email: vchavan@gbif.org

  2. 60% of the GBIF mobilised data is observation Exponential data growth is an ambition ODTG: Mandate Observational Data Sharing Infrastructure Metadata Schemas for Observational Data types Protocols and standards for observational Data Sharing and exchange Increased participation for expotential data growth Observational Data: Why?

  3. Publishers with data records (over 500,000) – 38% Digitisation – 45% digital, 33% non-digital, 40% online Basis of records – field survey (74%), ecological studies (64%), Site monitoring (51%), migration (31%), vegetation sampling (58%) Accuracy of attributes – Scientific names (54%), Common Names (20%), Lat-Long 46% (up to 75% geo-referenced) ODTG: Survey

  4. Levels of Access Control – archive (13%), prior consent (48%), open access (74%) Barriers – time management (64%), funding (51%), concerns of impact on sensitive resources (51%) Participation – 51% open to participate in GBIF data mobilisation activities ODTG: Survey

  5. GBIF must provide functionality for ’Resources Discovery’ Improve descriptive metadata for datasets Spatial attributes of datasets are essential for proper use Description of taxonomic system and methods of identifictaion Protocols used for data collection, collation, etc. Proper attribution to dataset and data record contributor ODTG: Recommendations

  6. Data within each dataset must be organised in interoperable format Extend Darwin core schema to facilitate access to deeply structured data Additional elements to Darwin Core – ProjectCode, SamplingEventIdentifier, SurveyAreaIdentifier, ProtocolIdentifier, ObservationCount, AllSpeciesReported Standardise and ratify both ABCD and Darwin Core schema and develop thematic extensions Keep abreast with Unified Model of Observational Data Interoperability ODTG: Recommendations

  7. GBIF must encourage participation also through increased data use Enhance the data processing, analysis and visualisation, data cleaning, repository, publisuing tools and web services Improve data attribution and data sharing policies Increase the nos of languages in which GBIF material is available Special efforts for access to mega-biodiversity holdings and countries Translations of GBIF tools, portals, manuals in major lanugaues ODTG: Recommendations

  8. Proposed Recommendation on Publishing and Discovery of Biodiversity Data Global Biodiversity Resources Discovery System Integrated Publishing Toolkit Data Hosting Centres Global Strategy and Action Plan for Mobilisation of Observation, Ecology/Environment and Multimedia Data Training Manual on Mobilisation of Observational Data GBIF Plans

  9. Domain specific schemas with cross walks? How do we avoid duplication of a resource? How to involve small data publishers? How do we leverage on existing investment? What are innovative ways for – Data capture, metadata creation, data storage/archival, mobilisation, fitness-for-use, data visualisation and analysis, modelling and forecasting In quest of solutions!
