  1. The Global Names Architecture:Integration In Action (NOT “Inaction”) • Overview of GNA, GNI & GNUB (15 mins) • Questions, Elaborations & Clarifications (10-15 mins) • Agenda & Priorities for the Coming Months(Remainder of Time)

  2. GNA: Global Names Architecture • Taxon Names are the fundamental link among virtually all biodiversity information. • Biodiversity Information relates to species concepts, but data resources are usually tied to text-string names. • Text-string Names are difficult to cross-link due to spelling variations, different genus-species combinations, homonyms, etc. • Linking text-string names to concepts requires source-based (literature-based) approach. • The key missing ingredient is to cross-link thousands of biodiversity datasets through taxon concepts, using only text-string names.

  3. GNI GNUB GNA GNI: Global Names Index • Lightweight Index of Organism Names (Text Strings) GNUB: Global Names Usage Bank • Name-usages anchored to documentation sources (e.g., published literature), which serve as the foundation for nomenclature, taxon concepts, and virtually all biodiversity data.

  13. Target Audience: Any dataset having anything to do with biodiversity (taxa). How Will People Consume Data? Simply by being plugged into the GNA, datasets are cross-linked to all other datasets plugged into the GNA. How Will People Consume Data from More than One Source? Well….DUH!!! What Work is Needed? • Further development & Integration of the name-matching tools associated with GNA • Finalization of GNUB/CitationBank data models and implementations • Development of Core Services (e.g., ZooBank Registry) • Additional Content (e.g., Nomenclators)

  14. This is How You Use/Access GNA Data: Right Now: Contribute content to: http://globalnames.org Use tools/resources at: http://code.google.com/p/taxon-name-processing/ Coming Soon: Create a local mirror of the GNI and/or GNUB dataset. People Will Be Able to Extend the GNA by... • Adding content to GNI & GNUB (& CitationBank). • Developing specialized Services that utilize GNA resources to help others get connected, and to add value to other people’s data. Anyone Will Be Able To ... • Contribute Content • Maintain a mirror copy for local use • Cross-link their data to other data • Build and Extend Services

  15. The Global Names Architecture:Integration In Action (NOT “Inaction”) • Overview of GNA, GNI & GNUB (15 mins) • Questions, Elaborations & Clarifications (10-15 mins) • Agenda & Priorities for the Coming Months(Remainder of Time) • Further Development of GNI & Services • Further Development of GNUB & Services • Integration with CitationBank/BHL • Expanding Content (Particularly GNUB) • Development of NomenclaturalServices (Index Fungorum, ZooBank, IPNI?, Catalog of Life?,Others?) If this ain’t Integration, I don’t know what is!
