  1. North American Invasive Species Information Huband IABIN's Invasives Information Network (I3N) Invasive Species as a Trilateral Challenge Albuquerque, New Mexico 29 April 2003 Annie Simpson Invasive Species Theme Coordinator National Biological Information Infrastructure asimpson@usgs.gov

  2. Davis Declaration calls for… • global strategy to coordinate invasive species information • establishment of a global distributed information system • development of identification tools worldwide • research & development agencies to make resources available 14-15 February 2001, Davis, California http://ice.ucdavis.edu/Davis_Declaration/

  3. Invasive Species Data Types (Discussed at the North American Hub Meeting, Davis CA Feb 2002) • Organizations • Experts • Projects • Datasets • Species Lists • Observations • Specimens • Images, maps, photos • Fact sheets • Identification aids • Bibliographies • Educational materials • URLs, URIs • Other documents (Bolded items are also part of the I3N model)

  4. CBD informal invasives experts meetingcalls for… • global invasives information network with open membership • mechanisms to report status and accomplishments • support of early warning systems • open standards & development of vocabularies • tool kit for regional hubs 19-20 February 2002, Montreal, Canada http://www.biodiv.org/doc/meetings/cop/cop-06/information/cop-06-inf-18-en.doc

  5. Inter-American Biodiversity Information Network IABIN Linking the Americas to Biodiversity Networks Worldwide

  6. Planning to join IABIN's Invasives Information Network (I3N) Participant Countries 11+ countries New countries joining without seed funding IABIN Linking the Americas to Biodiversity Networks Worldwide

  7. Objectives of I3N Pilot Project Develop standard catalogs in each country Species Experts Projects Data sets Make catalogs Web-accessible Build capacity IABIN Linking the Americas to Biodiversity Networks Worldwide

  8. Start entering metadata I3N Cataloger Interface • Microsoft Access 2000 • Three languages • Freely available

  9. Invasive Species Information Node • U.S. contribution to the North American Invasives Information Hub • Thematic node of the NBII • Seeks to establish, maintain, and accelerate the sharing, standardization, completeness, and accessibility of existing data on the distribution and abundance of non-native plants, animals, and diseases, at local, state, national and international levels http://invasivespecies.nbii.gov

  10. Opportunities for the Trilateral • Suggest adoption of I3N model at global hubs level • Encourage creation of identification aids • Promote interoperability of databases • Develop (fund?) tool kit for regional hubs
