Introducing Encyclopedia of Life version 2
- 2. Key ideas Engagement Leveraging Darwin Core Collaborations
- 3. v2: Scope & Engagement • All species • Global • Many audiences – enthusiasts – scientists – learners – citizen scientists
- 4. eol.org Aggregation Engagement • Assemble • Internationalize • Curate • Personalize • Contextualize EOL v1 EOL v2
- 5. EOL aggregates and curates Scientific Databases BHL, GBIF, ALA, COL, Scratchpads Scientific Journals Pensoft Publishing Curate Aggregate Comment Rate, Collect eol.org Quality control, prioritization API Third party apps
- 6. Summarizing knowledge Not managing raw data
- 7. Many topics Morphology, conservation, behavior ecology, genomics etc.
- 8. NCBI Taxonomy is framework Not the goal ITIS and COL
- 10. v2 engagement: Collections How would you like to get information from collections?
- 11. v2 engagement: Communities to share interests or to share work
- 12. • Collections as checklists • Third-party app using collections to instantly set up new mobile data entry • Could copy items & annotations to reflect actual observations
- 13. V2 engagement: Internationalization • Spanish – INBio, CONABIO • Arabic – Bibliotheca Alexandrina • Translatewiki for interfaces in other languages
- 14. v2: Incentives for improvement See updates tab http://eol.org/info/ priority_taxa_on_eol Image credit: Peter Förster
- 15. SPM DwC infoitem description Plinian Core using Darwin Core Archive flat files as transport mechanism EOL v2
- 16. Common Names Taxon References Attribution Image
- 17. Take-home messages • EOL helps taxonomists and others reach broader audiences via engagement • Leveraging and adding to existing Darwin Core • Collaborations are key, for content, for software development, quality control, for sustainability
- 18. Tree contest • Largest hierarchy that reflects the state of our phylogenetic knowledge • Submit to EOL in DwC-A • Proof of concept • Navigation of EOL web content • Prize – all-expenses paid trip to iEvoBio 2012 in Ottawa, Canada STAY TUNED FOR DETAILS

- Global – the whole worldAccess – free, re-usableKnowledge – synthesized, not rawLife on Earth – biological diversity
- Milions of pages with a name at least – more than 3 million -- more than 2 million data objects distributed on those pages, including over 400,000 images
- Our development of EOLv2 is following this path – in version one we developed the core ability to aggregate and curate data. In version 2 we are ensuring that
- EOL is a giant mashup that merges information that were created elsewhere on its pages which are then available for curators (mostly credentialed scientists) to trust or untrust and rate, or for anybody to provide comments or tags.We’re partnering with over a hundred scientific databases as well as public conribution sites like Flickr and Wikipedia.100+ partner databases700 curators/1000s contributors/46,000 members2.8 million pages500 thousand pages with Creative Commons contentOver 2 million data objects and >1 million pages with links to research literatureTraffic in past year: 1.7 million unique users, 6.2 million page views
- Collections might be practical, like helping people learn more about the foods that we eat, like posting lists of wanted things, like this list of microorganisms found by Jessica Green in the air ducts of office buildings.Help people put their information in context that are meaningful to them.Do you want crowds to help annotate items in the collection with a controlled vocabulary? Do you want to know the average riches of pages in the collection?
- Some communities are groups of people in the same geographic location. Some communities have a purpose – people interested in mlultilingual content can help find it and develop more content in their languages. Others may have a common biological group of interest.We’re hoping that communities will feel empowered to find and improve the content that is of interest to them. Thus expanding curation or quality control is an important feature to

- Why it is important to streamlineAbout 32 partners have managed to make their own XML resource docs – but that probably has the lowest cost per returnBut Connectors may be even more important -- -- web services & db connectors putting content on at least ½ million pagesLDs/Scratchpads important for small partnersSpreadsheets popular, with new transfer schema and flatfile archive format, the XML bar may go down and the spreadsheet might go up
