  1. EOLv2 eol.org

  2. Key ideas Engagement Leveraging Darwin Core Collaborations

  3. v2: Scope & Engagement • All species • Global • Many audiences • enthusiasts • scientists • learners • citizen scientists

  4. eol.org EOL v1 EOL v2

  5. EOL aggregates and curates Scientific Databases BHL, GBIF, ALA, COL, Scratchpads Scientific Journals Pensoft Publishing Curate Aggregate Comment Rate, Collect eol.org API Quality control, prioritization Third party apps

  6. Summarizing knowledgeNot managing raw data

  7. Many topicsMorphology, conservation, behavior ecology, genomics etc.

  8. Taxonomy is frameworkNot the goal NCBI ITIS and COL

  9. v2 engagement: Collections How would you like to get information from collections?

  10. v2 engagement: Communities to share interests or to share work

  11. Collections as checklists • Third-party app using collections to instantly set up new mobile data entry • Could copy items & annotations to reflect actual observations

  12. V2 engagement: Internationalization • Spanish – INBio, CONABIO • Arabic – Bibliotheca Alexandrina • Translatewiki for interfaces in other languages

  13. v2: Incentives for improvement See updates tab http://eol.org/info/ priority_taxa_on_eol Image credit: Peter Förster

  14. using Darwin Core Archive flat files as transport mechanism

  15. Common Names Taxon References Attribution Image

  16. Take-home messages • EOL helps taxonomists and others reach broader audiences via engagement • Leveraging and adding to existing Darwin Core • Collaborations are key, for content, for software development, quality control, for sustainability

  17. Tree contest • Largest hierarchy that reflects the state of our phylogenetic knowledge • Submit to EOL in DwC-A • Proof of concept • Navigation of EOL web content • Prize – all-expenses paid trip to iEvoBio 2012 in Ottawa, Canada STAY TUNED FOR DETAILS
