  1. BIS TDWG Conference, New Orleans, 2011 GBIF: the challenges of intra- and inter-operability at large scales David Remsen Senior Programme Officer Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF)

  2. Status of GBIF • Improved intra-operability • Focus on sustainability • Empowerment of users through interoperabilty • Bridging of gaps across levels: • local • national • international

  3. About GBIF The mission of the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) is to facilitate free and open access to biodiversity data worldwide via the Internet to underpin sustainable development. • 341 publishers • 9290 datasets • 310M records • 57 countries • 45 organisations

  4. Achieving intra-operability • Simplified data standards • Darwin Core Archives • Improved data publication processes • Integrated Publishing Toolkit • Spreadsheet-based publishing • Improved integration • New taxonomic resources • Improved data processing

  5. Intra-operability challenges Issue #1: The consequences of scale – from gateway to central index Issue #2: Geospatial integration Issue #3: Taxonomic integration

  6. Geo-referenced USA data Verbatim data as shared on the network

  7. Geo-referenced USA data Data following interpretation • Coastal regions recognised • Offshore islands recognised

  8. The number of authority files published through GBIF has doubled in 2011

  9. Trochilidae (Hummingbirds)(today) Misinterpretations (Hummingbirds are restricted to the Americas)

  10. Trochilidae (Hummingbirds)(next month) Improved interpretation

  11. Growth 302 million 201 million 180 million 147 million 70 million 2007 2008 2009 2010 Today

  12. Growth 302 million Newstandardadopted Need for a new standard identified 201 million 180 million 147 million 70 million 2007 2008 2009 2010 Today

  16. Highlight Use Cases

  17. Empower users through interoperability Enable scientific research that has never before been possible

  18. Using biodiversity data: Ecological Niche Modeling Change in suitability for cultivating common bean across the world, from present to 2020, showing a global loss in suitability, especially in Africa.

  19. Integration: WCMC World Protected Areas

  20. Integration: GBIF & IUCN Red List

  22. CBD Access & Benefit Sharing (Nagoya) Protocol

  23. Bridge Gaps From local to national to international

  24. ICLEI Cities Biodiversity Centre BiodiverCities Programme The goal of the BiodiverCities Programme is to guide, support, capacitate and motivate local governments and their partners to integrate biodiversity and ecosystem-based planning into all aspects of policy, decision making and implementation activities to result in enhanced biodiversity conservation and more sustainable local economic development. Acknowledgement of accountability and responsibility for the health and well-being of communities and recognition of biodiversity and essential ecosystem services as the foundation of our existence are core components of the goal.

  25. Accessing data from the GBIF network(using polygons from www.gdams.org)

  26. Montreal (526 points, 71,759 occurrences)

  27. Bridging National Gaps: National Data Portals • Increased geospatial granularity (national to county) • Nationally-relevant thematic layers

  28. Bridging International Gaps: Mobilising new sources of biodiversity data
