  1. Biodiversity Information Standards TDWG Annual Meeting The Global Invasive Species Information Networkproviding the backbone for invasive species information sharingDatabase Interoperability New Orleans, Louisiana 19 October 2011

  2. 1 Annie Simpsonentomologist & librariandata coordinator, BISON projectUS Geological Survey asimpson@usgs.gov

  3. Let’s talk money… Annual earthquake damage in US costs ~$4.4 billion • Annual economic impact of invasive species is ~$123 billion!

  4. 2 What is GISIN? • Provides a global platform for sharing invasive species info via Internet • Virtual organization (its own can of worms) http://www.gisin.org

  5. 2 Traditional vs. Virtual Organizations (Rouse 2008) http://www.ti.gatech.edu/docs/Rouse%20NAEBridge2008%20HealthcareComplexity.pdf

  6. Successful virtual organizations depend on inspiration... and perspiration. Different groups with different backgrounds Effective training It’s about team work, and co-authoringwill get you there.

  7. GBIF and the CBD hosted an invasive species database experts meeting5-6 Sep 2011Encouraged collaboration among major invasive species data holdersCreated a draft CBD program of work for Invasive species information servicesDocument soon to be posted at http://www.cbd.intAnother meeting planned in 6 months

  8. "By 2020, invasive alien species and pathways are identified and prioritized, priority species are controlled or eradicated, and measures are in place to manage pathways to prevent their introduction and establishment." CBD Strategic Plan's Aichi Biodiversity Target 9: GBIF meeting participants included representatives from the Global Invasive Species Database, the CABI Invasive Species Compendium, FishBASE, DAISIE, NOBANIS, and I3N.

  9. A term is a name string (of a defined language), which is associated with a standard concept. A concept is the basic component of a vocabulary. It is a description derived from a specific instance. A vocabularyis made up of many concepts each of which can have any number of multilingual terms associated with them. Controlled vocabularies provide an effective way to organize knowledge for subsequent retrieval. An ontology specifies the concepts and relationships of a complex data model. A protocol is a specific set of communication rules for computer-to-computer interaction and is based on ontologies. What do I mean by...

  10. GISIN’s six data models consist of 91 concepts: - 67 unique to GISIN - 11 from Darwin Core - 8 from Dublin Core - 5 from TAPIR GISIN will soon be posting our data models’ controlled vocabularies at http://vocabularies.gbif.org GISIN’s contribution to PoW: data models

  11. Formally organized in November 2010 A non-profit organization consisting of centers of excellence in invasive species science Learn more about NAISN at http://www.naisn.org GISIN chosen as the information system to NAISN

  12. NAISN: Future Plans • Create an invasive Species network to provide on the ground services for coordination of: 1 3 2 Prevention EDRR Info mgmt & Education Research Become Lightning Rod for IAS Funding

  13. GISIN’s recent successes 3 data models implemented, 3 more in preparation Small amounts of funding from diverse sources for meeting support Adopted as the info backbone of North Amer. Invasive Spp. Network 2-year funding from Commission on Environmental Cooperation for expansion, tech support, and training

  14. GISIN’s future plans Posting our GISIN data model controlled vocabularies at http://vocabularies.gbif.org Increasing our list of data providers, tech support, and improving Implementation http://www.gisin.org Providing registry of invasive species information systems at http://www.gisin.org/GISINlist.htm

  15. Together we can harness the power within us all to assemble and share knowledge

  16. 3 Questions? TDWG BioBlitz, Woods Hole Massachusetts, October 2010
