Presentation Transcript

  1. BIS TDWG Conference, New Orleans, 2011 GBIF and Genomic Data Éamonn Ó Tuama Senior Programme Officer, Inventory, Discovery, Access (IDA) Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) 19 October 2011

  2. GBIF data portal Total occurrences: 27 270 Georeferenced: 26 351 Total occurrences: 1 600 164 Georeferenced: 1 392 211 http://data.gbif.org/

  3. GBIF and Genomic Data A roadmap developed by Q1 2013 - genomic data - ecological data - complement, not duplicate work - GBIF as top-level gateway to discovery, access http://links.gbif.org/sp2012_2016.pdf

  4. GBIF Activities RfP for position paper on genomic level observations (Q1 2011) collaboration with Genomic Standards Consortium Initial joint activities: • Participate in GSC biodiversity work group • Participate in GSC conferences • Aligning Darwin Core and GSC MIxS • Identifying use cases, • e.g., Microbial Earth Catalog, UNITE PLoS ONE

  5. Integrating genomic data in GBIF network Ref: Genomics data and the GBIF network: potential for integration (April 2011) http://links.gbif.org/genomics_scoping

  6. Knowledge Organisation Systems Requirement: a platform to support the development, maintenance and governance of vocabularies for the biodiversity community • GBIF KOS working group white paper “Recommendations for the use of Knowledge Organisation Systems by GBIF” (http://links.gbif.org/gbif_kos_whitepaper_v1.pdf ) • GSC represented in KOS working group (Norman Morrison) • Appointment of new KOS position at GBIF: Dr Dag Endresen (germplasm community) • Special symposium on KOS at TDWG 2011 conference • Grand Ballroom C, Thursday at 09.30

  7. Future activities Collaboration on Knowledge Organisation Systems (KOS) for standards development e.g., to support the work of aligning DwC and GSC MIxS Collaboration on Genomic Observatories (GO) Network: • data mining the GBIF data cache to understand coverages and gaps • promotion of GBIF Data Portal and network for discovery and access to more specialized data networks and sites • identifying biodiversity hotspots (DNA, species level) Opportunity for GSC/GBIF workshop in Q1 2012 - hackathon on aligning DwC and MIxS Opportunity for GSC to contribute to the Global Biodiversity Informatics Outlook (GBIO) report in 2012
