  1. BioGIS: A Web-Based Environment for Analyzing, Modelling and Visualizing Biodiversity Data Ronen Kadmon The Hebrew University of Jerusalem

  2. Efficient tools for data analysis, modelling and visualization • User-friendly interface • Accessibility through the Internet Expectations from an ‘Ideal’ Biodiversity Information System • Integration of data on different systematic groups • Integration of heterogeneous databases • Integration of data on different kinds of objects (species, specimens, geographical localities…)

  3. Species Morphometrics Morphology Taxonomy Ecosystems Ecology • Phylogeny Conservation Biogeography Genetics Life history strategies Global change Collections Genes Butterflies The Diversity of Biodiversity Data (Examples from the VI ICSEB conference on “Biodiversity in the information age”)

  4. BioGIS Objects of Biodiversity Data (for plant species: life form, flower color, conservation status..) (collector name, collection date, stage, sex, age, length..) (rainfall, temperature, elevation, soil, land-use, nature reserves..) • Taxonomic objects (species, genera..) • ‘Unit-level’ objects (specimens, observations) • Geographical objects (sites, regions, grid cells..)

  5. SPECIES-LEVEL DATA GIS LAYERS UNIT-LEVEL DATA DATABASE 1 SYST. GROUP 1 DATABASE 2 DATABASE 3 DATABASE 1 SYST. GROUP 2 DATABASE 2 Taxonomical links(species names) Geographical links(geographic coordinates)
