  1. Leveraging Filtered Push Technology to Enhance Remote Taxonomic Identifications Nico Franz1, Edward Gilbert1, Neil Cobb2 & Paul Morris3 1 School of Life Sciences, Arizona State University 2 Merriam-Powell Center, Northern Arizona University 3 Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University TDWD 2013 Annual Conference, Florence, Italy Biodiversity Data Quality – Issues, Methods and Tools October 29, 2013

  2. Advancing Digitization of Biodiversity Collections (NSF ADBC Program) Digitize 1 billion specimens in 10 years Currently 9 Thematic Collection Networks with 130 participating institutions

  3. SCAN member collections Average ~ 480 miles apart ASU UNM TAMU UA NMSU NAU TTU UCB CSU DMNS

  4. SCAN digitization objectives • Digitize 1 million records for southwestern ground-dwelling arthropods • Produce 16,000 high-resolution images of species; promote identifications • Leverage an interactive identification & annotation workflow via Symbiota Gerstaeckeriaporosa(LeConte, 1876) – ASUHIC0017017 Crotaniustrivittatus(Champion, 1908) – ASUHIC0012067

  5. September, 2013: 510,262 records in SCAN SCAN ADBC Collections SCAN ADBC Ground-Dwelling Arthropod Records • 510,262 specimens in Symbiota • 300,984 (59%) georeferenced • 338,836 (66%) identified to species • 1,016 families • 8,056 genera • 17,538 species SCAN ADBC Non-Target Taxa Records  Primary need: remote IDs SCAN Broader Impact Collections SCAN Non-ADBC Broader Impact Records

  6. Deployment diagram – Symbiota & Filtered Push interaction Filtered Push3 Node http://fp3.acis.ufl.edu/FPAnnotationProcessor-Web/ SCAN Symbiota Portal http://symbiota1.acis.ufl.edu/scan/portal/index.php New FP Client Tools in Symbiota • New, remotely added identifications are grounded in the Annotation Ontology. • FP team has developed Symbiota-integrated PHP Client Tools that record and push new annotations to the external FP infrastructure where statistics are kept.

  7. Current workings & look in SCAN

  8. Homepage – http://symbiota1.acis.ufl.edu/scan/portal/index.php Images

  9. Image thumbnail gallery – some are insufficiently identified ID = Epicaerus ID = Scarabaeidae

  10. More information – occurrence records, images – is clicks away

  11. More information – occurrence records, images – is clicks away

  12. Experts can log in and view a taxon-tailored IDs Needed tab This is the scarab in need of an ID

  13. Experts can log in and view a taxon-tailored IDs Needed tab Occurrence tab This is the scarab in need of an ID

  14. Experts can log in and view a taxon-tailored IDs Needed tab Occurrence tab This is the scarab in need of an ID Images tab

  15. Adding a new identification in the Determination History tab  Scientific Name is linked to the SCAN Taxonomic Thesaurus.

  16. The fully integrated Symbiota tab for IDs is Filtered Push-enabled • New = current ID • Image remapping • Submission to FP

  17. Simultaneous ID recording internally (SCAN) and externally (FP) Confirmation in SCAN

  18. Simultaneous ID recording internally (SCAN) and externally (FP) Confirmation in SCAN AO translation Confirmation in FP3 node Annotations list view

  19. Simultaneous ID recording internally (SCAN) and externally (FP) Confirmation in SCAN AO translation Confirmation in FP3 node Annotations detail view RDF / XML translation

  20. Future work – 1st production-level Symbiota / FP implementation • Optimization of SCAN "IDs Needed" user interface – thumbnail view • Roll-out to the SCAN expert community, creation of expert profiles in FP • Expansion beyond SCAN members, diversified notification systems "Curculionidae" ("Calles" sp.) – ASUHIC0031695
