  1. But: There is currently no easy way to connect such resources to the Global Biodiversity Information Network (GBIF). Checklist Provider Tool a GBIF Application for Sharing Taxonomic Checklists Using TAPIR and TCS Nomenclatural and taxonomic resources play a very important role in the GBIF portal. TDWG conference Bratislava 2007

  2. CoL CPT ? Checklist Provider Tool a GBIF Application for Sharing Taxonomic Checklists Using TAPIR and TCS To solve this, GBIF wants to have a bunch of tools to connect Taxonomic Checklists to the GBIF network. A checklist provider can choose the tool that fits best for his or her needs. GBIF • Taxonomic checklists • Global • Regional • Thematic (invasive, vernacular,..) TDWG conference Bratislava 2007

  3. Checklist Provider Tool a GBIF Application for Sharing Taxonomic Checklists Using TAPIR and TCS Taxonomic Checklist are most often stored in Excel spreadsheets or delimited files. Checklists use only a few different data concepts but can be structured in different ways. • Denormalized / Normalized • Implied normalization / Explicit normalization • Synonymized The Checklist Provider Tool supports a couple of them but not all, for maximum flexibility without making the mapping between TCS too difficult.

  8. Checklist Provider Tool a GBIF Application for Sharing Taxonomic Checklists Using TAPIR and TCS The Checklist Provider Tool contains: • MySQL database • Performance • UTF-8 • Maximum search flexibility • GUIDs • Relational use of provider metadata • PHP interface • Upload • Configuration • Browse • Tapirlink Classes TDWG conference Bratislava 2007

  9. Checklist Provider Tool a GBIF Application for Sharing Taxonomic Checklists Using TAPIR and TCS • The tool is open source • Can be used for multiple checklists • Runs on any platform with: • PHP 5 • PHP mbstring extension • A webserver that supports PHP • a MySQL 4 or later version database (or other database supported by AdoDB) • Can be download and installed locally or • Can be used directly at GBIF TDWG conference Bratislava 2007

  14. Checklist Provider Tool a GBIF Application for Sharing Taxonomic Checklists Using TAPIR and TCS All data can be browsed, but a provider can only change the configuration of his/her own checklist TDWG conference Bratislava 2007

  15. Checklist Provider Tool a GBIF Application for Sharing Taxonomic Checklists Using TAPIR and TCS Database tables TDWG conference Bratislava 2007

  16. Checklist Provider Tool a GBIF Application for Sharing Taxonomic Checklists Using TAPIR and TCS The TAPIR access point extends on the TapirLink PHP classes. In most cases it will be sufficient to just replace these files with a newer version to make new TapirLink functions Or bugfixes directly available for the Checklist Provider Tool. • The main differences with TapirLink (v0.3) are that • All configuration is stored in the database instead • of configuration files • We plan to use a Concept Name Server for • easier Tapir KVP requests TDWG conference Bratislava 2007

  17. Checklist Provider Tool a GBIF Application for Sharing Taxonomic Checklists Using TAPIR and TCS According to the recommendations in the Tapir specification, a concept is identified with its XPath in a Tapir request. Because TCS is highly structured, These XPaths can be very long. Using aliases instead solves this problem. A Concept Name Server (CNS) provides the mappings between the aliases and the XPaths.

Checklist Provider Tool a GBIF Application for Sharing Taxonomic Checklists Using TAPIR and TCS Example: http://www.tdwg.org/schemas/tcs/1.01/DataSet/ TaxonConcepts/TaxonConcept/TaxonRelationships/ TaxonRelationship/@type Becomes something like: TaxonRelationshipType@tcs101 TDWG conference Bratislava 2007

  20. With a Capabilities request you can see whether a Concept Name Server is supported and which TCS concepts are mapped. Checklist Provider Tool a GBIF Application for Sharing Taxonomic Checklists Using TAPIR and TCS The TAPIR access point

  21. Some custom metadata is available to: • Meet the needs of GBIF • Be compatible with the Catalog of Life • Supply atomized address information Checklist Provider Tool a GBIF Application for Sharing Taxonomic Checklists Using TAPIR and TCS

  22. Checklist Provider Tool a GBIF Application for Sharing Taxonomic Checklists Using TAPIR and TCS We hope to have the Checklist Provider Tool ready at the next GBIF meeting in October TDWG conference Bratislava 2007
