1. GLOBAL BIODIVERSITY INFORMATION FACILITY Vishwas Chavan & Samy Gaiji [email_address] WWW.GBIF.ORG GBIF: An introduction, key points and highlights Building the Biodiversity Informatics Commons ICES WGDIM Meeting 25-27 May 2010 Copenhagen, Denmark
2. GBIF: an intergovernmental initiative to share biodiversity information Currently 5 4 countries; 4 4 International Organisations…
3. Growth in GBIF Participation NB: Drop in Associate Participants in 2007 is attributable to delays in signing the new MOU 2007-2011 Last updated: 2010-02-12 39 51 63 72 78 81 79 88 97 98
4. GBIF’s Mandate ” To facilitate free and open access to biodiversity data worldwide, via the Internet, to underpin scientific research, conservation and sustainable development.” GBIF is govt-initiated, and govt. funded, in response to government agency needs in biodiversity information access and management; GBIF is in service to science, as a global ‘public good’
5. Data shared online via GBIF (> 200 m biodiversity records mapped to a 1 X 1 degree grid) Data Publishers: 312 Data Resources: 9900
15. In summary…GBIF’s Informatics Improved access to Names, Metadata and Primary Biodiversity Data Distributed GBIF informatics architecture Faster and easier publishing of data
19. Primary biodiversity data and information effectively available Data and information that have been produced but are not easy to find, access, and use (i.e not effectively available!) - a gigantic task of mobilising billions of data is still needed, as well as integrating new data. Biological collections Scientific publications Observations Reports Gray literature Data Bases Geography
25. The Science-Policy Interface Management, conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity Policy development and decision making (at local, national, regional, and global levels) Scientific monitoring of status and trends of biodiversity GBIF-published data and analyses

Add a NODES component to this SLIDE as GBIF historical focus has collections as a core
DIGIT has moved from its NHC focus (specimen, observation, multimedia, impact assessments, domain specific task groups). Data Resources Discovery – GBRDS is planned as registry of biodiversity resources, GBRDS Stakeholders workshop, GBRDS as tool for investment in BI. GSAP-NHC has recommended that metadata creation is way forward to expedite NHC digitisation. Innovative approaches are being adopted by the network Participants as fall out of targets set by 2009-2010 WP. Data Mobilisation Strategy Discussions – assess realities, challenges, and potentials of the Participants Data Publishing Framework Task Group: Data Publishing on par with Scholarly publishing: (a) recommendation on data discovery and publishing, (b) data publishing together with scholarly publishing, (c) Data Paper, (d) Data Usage Index, (e) Data Citation Mechanism

2011 WP activities of DIGIT area will focus on strengthening network capacities in two areas – Demand driven data discovery & action plans by Participants: Best practice guidelines for strategy & action plan development Comprehensive GAP analysis of GBIF mobilised data Uptake of BIP Index by the Participants in furthering progress in ‘biodiversity informatics’ Strategies for ‘internationalisation’ of data discovery & publishing Implementation of ‘Data Publishing Framework’: Data citation mechanism & service Data Usage Index Data Papers for recognising efforts of authoring enriched metadata documents Simultaneous publishing of ‘peer reviewed paper’ and ‘data’ Institutionalisation of hosting centre infrastructure
