European Nodes Meeting 2013 Wednesday 6 – 8 March Joensuu Finland GBIF WP consultation Planning for 2014 and beyond Olaf Bánki Senior Programme Officer for Participation Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) Bar-tailed Godwits (Limosalapponica) andRed Knot (Calidriscanutus) , in Merimbula, NSW on 10/11/2010. The Red Knot was banded on 25/11/2006, age approximately 2, at Miranda, New Zealand and was sighted again on 23/05/2007 at Broome, WA and back in Miranda on 21/11/2009 (information from Birds Australia).
Strategic plan vision VISION: A world in which biodiversity information is freely and universally available for science, society, and a sustainable future.
High-level vision - GBIF 2030 CULTURE: A community of contributors from all cultures, languages, and fields of biodiversity research collaborates to generate, curate, and use global knowledge of biodiversity DATA: Scientific data are routinely and promptly made available in a persistent free and open accessible form EVIDENCE: All available evidence for the distribution and abundance [, functions and processes] of biodiversity on earth through space and time is amassed and organized UNDERSTANDING: All users have the capability to make use of the best evidence-based understanding of biodiversity patterns and processes
GBIF’s role in this vision • Participants expect GBIF to deliver: • Effective governance • Global data publishing facility • Established national ”BIFs” • Supporting knowledge network • Organised biodiversity information • Online data discovery and access • Science and policy relevance • This is GBIF’s mission • This is GBIF’s value proposition • These are GBIF’s outputs

Designing each output Publishing facility A global distributed and interoperable publishing and curatorial facility for all streams of biodiversity data
Significance of this approach • Align GBIF with large-scale vision (GBIO) • Value proposition (elevator speech) • GBIF outputs now • What GBIF will deliver • Basis for Participant/supplementary funding • Long-term framework for GBIF planning • Annual work programmes move stepwise towards vision • Basis for annual prioritisation • Progress metrics • Context/rationale for national/other projects

Roles and responsibilities • Secretariat role • Coordinate governance • Coordinate content, informatics & engagement • Coordinate information resources • Coordinate capacity development • Clarify role as set of operational services • Participant role • Engage national/organisational stakeholders • Deliver value to national/organisational interests • Align activities with global vision • Mobilize data for global use • Regional role • Coordinate activities at regional level • ???
Relationship to focal areas • Candidate focal areas • Large-scale data • Vegetation data • Invasive alien species • Support for taxonomy • Broader biodiversity informatics collaboration • All supported by initial Participant responses • Role in 2014-2016 Work Programme • Specific relevant enhancement activities • Standards • Informatics • Training/documentation • Basis for progress metrics for content and relevance • Explore Participant-led activities in each area
Outputs & headline products • WP 2012-2013 headline products map to outputs • Data publishing framework Publishing Facility • BIF-Building PackageNational BIFs • Global Collaboration PlatformKnowledge Network • Discovery & Access InfrastructureDiscovery & Access • Status of Biodiversity InformationScience/Policy Relevance • Headline products less fully refined • Several defined more narrowly than outputs • Not clearly linked to key value propositions • Missing logic for prioritisation and progress • Governance not included in headline products • Minimises relevance/value to Work Programme • Biodiversity Information poorly reflected • Inadequate focus on core value proposition
