The Grand Challenge for Biodiversity Informatics
An infrastructure to allow the available data to be brought
into a coordinated coupled modelling environment, capable
of addressing questions relating to our use of the natural
environment, that captures the variety, distinctiveness and
complexity of all life on Earth
To achieve it we need:
To build user confidence
Integrative flexible e-Science environments
Predictive models across multiple scales, coupled

11. Data fit for purpose
Data are received at face-value,
examined and tested. If the
user is satisfied, then the data
will be applied.

To build user confidence
Thus far, all projects share a common problem of keeping services
running after project funding ended
New models are needed
To create translational pipelines to industry adoption
To encourage institutional adoption for care and maintenance
For recognition of contribution other than through publication of
academic papers
Stronger marketing and outreach
Invest more in up-skilling and hand-holding

Virtual Biodiversity
Integrative flexible e-Science environments
Using standardised building blocks and workflows
Interoperable components
With access to data from multiple sources
Recognise different kinds of VRE
General-purpose / specialised / single scientific objective
- cf. chemistry laboratory vs forensics lab vs HIV vaccine lab
- BioVeL / AquaMaps and iMarine / CarbonWaterCloud
Must generate immediate benefit for users
Science driven, with scientists as active participants in creation of
infrastructure
Functions people find useful: simple and intuitive
Technology invisible (disappears into background)

Predictive models across multiple scales
A new framework of methods, techniques, standards to bring about
interoperability of data and models across different biological scales
From Genetic through species and ecosystem to landscape
Learn from Virtual Physiological Human and from Numerical weather
prediction and climatology Edwards (2010). A Vast Machine
âGeneral Ecological Modelsâ Purves et al. (2013). doi:10.1038/493295a
Evolvable to incorporate new scientific insights
Re-analysis models
Making data we have global
Implies âinversionâ of existing infrastructure
âinversionâ of existing infrastructure is about re-examining every element of data we have to
re-construct the past biodiversity, as a guide and calibrator of models that can predict the future

Section 1: The fundamental backbone (getting the basics right)
1. Why are names important? 9. How to balance professional and non-professional
2. How are names organised? contributions
3. Which is the right name? 10. Engagement of users
4. What is the name of that organism? 11. Who's who?
5. Can biodiversity studies be done without names? 12. User identification
6. Biodiversity data beyond names 13. How do we ensure the right metadata are created
7. To link resources we need identifiers at the point of data generation?
8. Centralised or networked services? 14. Sustaining the physical infrastructure
Section 2: The next steps
15. Data Sharing 19. Beyond Sharing and Re-use: the problem of scale
16. Why do we need vocabularies and ontologies? 20. How reliable are the data?
17. How would Knowledge Organising Systems help? 21. What will the physical infrastructure look like?
18. How easy is it to integrate data?
Section 3: New tools
22. How much of the legacy collections can be digitised? 27. How do you aggregate the data you need?
23. How to generate more targeted and reliable data? 28. How complete are the data?
24. What role do mobile devices play? 29. How can we encourage virtual research
25. How do you find the data you need? environments?
26. How do you extract the data you need? 30. What can you do with your data in the future?
Section 4: The human interface
31. How can we give users confidence?
