1. GLOBAL BIODIVERSITY INFORMATION FACILITY Nick King and Vishwas Chavan GBIF Secretariat WWW.GBIF.ORG The Global Biodiversity Information Facility: Building the Biodiversity Informatics Commons Building the Biodiversity Informatics Commons Albuquerque, 2-7 Aug. 2009

2. Key Millennium Assessment Solutions GBIF is a multi-country response to the need to mobilise information in order to facilitate improved decision-making... ” data without borders”

4. GBIF’s growing global network Currently, 50 countries, 40 international organisations

7. Georef’d data via GBIF portal (>181m records mapped to a 1 X 1 degree grid)

8. In summary…GBIF’s Informatics Improved access to Names, Metadata and Primary Biodiversity Data Distributed GBIF informatics architecture Faster and easier publishing of data

9. At the core, a Discovery System Consumers Data Publishers Searching Retrieving Discovering Discovery System Registering Service Publishers Others…

10. That links to resources… A distributed service ………… .. which resolves to information resources Who? Institutions, Collections … What? Where? When? How Data, Services, GUID/LSID… Location, Access points… Temporal Scope… Formats, protocols, qualities … ./

11. GBRDS: empowering discovery

12. Key Components: the IPT IPT The Integrated Publishing Toolkit is a state-of-the-art tool to simplify the mobilization of biodiversity information resources such as Names, Metadata and primary biodiversity data Data Publisher Registration (GBRDS) + Publishing of Names, Metadata, Primary biodiversity data etc…

13. Simple process! The Integrated Publishing Toolkit (IPT) is designed to simplify the mapping, indexing and harvesting of Names, Metadata and Primary Biodiversity Data!

14. Building a comprehensive global architecture for nomenclature

15. Data mobilised by the USA, including other countries of origin

16. GBIF Data portal and data access/sharing/ repatriation

17. Integrating Biodiversity Data… Spain Madagascar Data processing from the two databases Each Protected Area polygon processed…. World Database on Protected Areas Primary Biodiversity Data Species geo-referenced data. taxonomic resolution (intelligence) >177 M specimen and observation data >60,000 protected areas Visualisation on WDPA site Protected areas GBIF data GBIF geo-referenced Spain 271 2.2 M 51% Madagascar 72 0.35 M 61%

24. Moving towards … global integration Threatened Spp.; Red List Spp. Migratory Spp. Invasives, crop wild relatives, medicinals, etc. ?

26. Aedes albopictus – native range Modeled native range in Asia from specimens & observations (ENM)

27. Aedes albopictus : potential USA invasion Projected Asian niche onto present USA to create invasion risk-map.

28. Aedes albopictus : actual USA invasion (by county)

29. Aedes albopictus : world risk-map (present)

30. Using GBIF data in CC models Sterculiaceae (Meliaceae, Dipterocapaceae)

32. Conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity Monitoring of status and trends of biodiversity (sound science) GBIF- accessible data Policy development and decision making (at local, national, regional, and global levels)
