GBIF (Global Biodiversity Information Facility) Position Paper: Data Hosting ...Phil Cryer
Today, an unprecedented volume of primary biodiversity data are being generated worldwide, yet significant amounts of these data have been and will continue to be lost after the conclusion of the projects tasked with collecting them. To get the most value out of these data it is imperative to seek a solution whereby these data are rescued, archived and made available to the biodiversity community. To this end, the biodiversity informatics community requires investment in processes and infrastructure to mitigate data loss and provide solutions for long-term hosting and sharing of biodiversity data.
We review the current state of biodiversity data hosting and investigate the technological and sociological barriers to proper data management. We further explore the rescuing and re-hosting of legacy data, the state of existing toolsets and propose a future direction for the development of new discovery tools. We also explore the role of data standards and licensing in the context of data hosting and preservation. We provide five recommendations for the biodiversity community that will foster better data preservation and access: (1) encourage the community’s use of data standards, (2) promote the public domain licensing of data, (3) establish a community of those involved in data hosting and archival, (4) establish hosting centers for biodiversity data, and (5) develop tools for data discovery.
The community’s adoption of standards and development of tools to enable data discovery is essential to sustainable data preservation. Furthermore, the increased adoption of open content licensing, the establishment of data hosting infrastructure and the creation of a data hosting and archiving community are all necessary steps towards the community ensuring that data archival policies become standardized.

Exploring the future of scholarly publishing of biodiversity dataVishwas Chavan
Little more than decade back biodiversity data publishing was opportunistic and secondary spin-off activity of the biodiversity research and conservation management chain. Today, the Global Biodiversity Information Facility facilitate free and open access to over 420 million primary biodiversity data records contributed by publishers across the globe. This is an outcome of a growing realization that free and open access to biodiversity data is crucial to take informed decisions and actions for sustainable use of biotic resources and conservation of biodiversity areas. In recent past use of biodiversity data in research, conservation and management activities is on rise. However, users often complain about the low degree of ‘fitness-for-use’ of the accessible data. Most of the times potential use of data is hampered because of lack of adequate metadata, that can demonstrate the fintness-for-use of a given dataset.
To overcome this an appropriate incentivisation mechanism is essential, that can provide due credit and acknowledgement to a research groups for their efforts in authoring good metadata. In recent past a concept of ‘scholarly data publishing’ is being talked about where in both data and metadata undergo peer-review similar to other scientific publications. Pensoft publishing has launched a fresh data only journal called ‘Biodiversity Data Journal, and accepts data papers in six of its other journal titles. European aquatic biodiversity community through EU funded project ‘BioFresh’ has engaged with editors of 29 aquatic biodiversity journals to being accepting data papers. GBIF node in Columbia and South Africa are planning to kick start a journal that will publish data papers. Recently, Nature Publishing Group has announced a peer-reviewed data publishing only journal called ‘Scientific Data’. These developments announce the arrival of the new data publishing era ‘Scholarly Data Publishing’. Biodiversity science and biodiversity informatics stands to gain a lot by being on the forefront of this tide.
Parker allie_Mobilising biodiversity data for science and policy in South Afr...Fatima Parker-Allie
Biodiversity Informatics in South Africa, as in other parts of the world, is a young and dynamic field of science, which translates into an enormous challenge for biodiversity scientists. Understanding mechanisms for information sharing in this landscape has been successful over time. The South African National Biodiversity Institute, houses the GBIF Node, and supports a knowledge-management platform, which makes biodiversity data freely and openly available. The South African Biodiversity Information Facility (SABIF) is a major publisher of biodiversity data, making >11.5 million biodiversity data records available, from a growing network of more than 15 organisations, to the global scientific community. Data standards such as the Darwin Core, and protocols such as TAPIR and the Integrated Publishing Toolkit have been used. Data sharing takes place through both funded and non-funded mechanisms, to initiate digitization activities. A comprehensive policy framework has also been put in place by SANBI, to enable data sharing which takes into account intellectual property rights, citations and sensitive data. The scope of data of types being mobilized is increasing through the Foundational Biodiversity Information Programme with species, specimens, observation, images and molecular data being mobilised, and made accessible. The Information Architecture is evolving to support these data types and to ensure that relevant data can be accessed efficiently in support of science, policy and decision making.

Digitalisering og GBIF. Registering av samlinger i GrSciColl og Wikidata og publisering av samlingsdata i GBIF.
Råd fra GBIF-Norge til datainfrastrukturutvalget i dialogmøte 2021-11-19Dag Endresen
[Råd 1] Norske forskningsdata bør publiseres i henhold til internasjonale data-standarder. Internasjonale data-standarder sikrer interoperabilitet og reelle muligheter for gjenbruk av data. Etablerte data-standarder innenfor et fagområde gir ofte best effekt for realisert gjenbruk, men kan hindre gjenbruk av data i nye og uforutsette tverrfaglige studier og sammenhenger. Norge bør derfor også bidra til tverrfaglig videreutvikling av interoperabilitet på tvers av data-standarder som er i anvendelse innenfor de enkelte fagområder.
[Råd 2] Måloppnåelse for økt deling av forskningsdata blir enklere med effektive insentiver. Vi tror at etablering av forskningsdata som siterbart vitenskapelig produkt slik som DORA (sfdora.org, 2012) og Force11 (force11.org, 2011) beskriver gir viktige retningslinjer som datainfrastrukturutvalget bør forsøke å integrere i nye Norske retningslinjer.
[Råd 3] Metrikk for å måle gjennomslag og innflytelse (impact) av forskning ("tellekanter") bør utvides til å inkludere metrikk for anerkjennelse av datakilde (data-publikasjon, data-sitering) for både forsker og institusjon. Publisering av forskningsdata bør fortrinnsvis utføres gjennom en profesjonell infrastruktur (slik som GBIF) der opphavsmann og de ulike bidragsytere til produksjon, innsamling, tilretteleggelse, håndtering, og bevaring av data kan registreres. Dataset bør tilordnes stabil digital identitet, gjennom løsninger slik som DOI (digital object identifier). Personer bør knyttes til stabil digital identitet gjennom løsninger slik som ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID, orcid.org). Institusjoner bør knyttes til stabil digital identitet gjennom system løsninger slik som ROR (Research Organization Registry, ror.org).
[Råd 4] Etablering av infrastruktur for forskningsdata tar tid og behøver derfor kontinuitet og forutsigbare rammer, mandat, og langsiktig strategisk investering. Effektiv langsiktig investering i felles internasjonale løsninger krever ofte bedre kontinuitet enn det som er mulig innenfor handlingsrommet for basisfinansiering for enkelte forskningsinstitusjoner og universiteter. Samtidig som felles multi-nasjonal investering i fellesløsninger ofte har en betydelig lavere kostnad enn en alternativ mere fragmentert infrastruktur.
GBIF Norge (GBIF.no) er den norske deltagernoden i Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF.org). GBIF er en internasjonal organisasjon som arbeider for fri og åpen tilgang til globalt dekkende informasjon om biologisk mangfold. GBIF ble etablert i 2001 etter en beslutning i OECDs Science Forum i 1999. Norge ble medlem av GBIF i 2004 og den norske deltagernoden, GBIF Norge, ble etablert med sekretariat ved Universitet i Oslo Naturhistorisk Museum i nært samarbeid med Artsdatabanken og med finansiering fra Forskningsrådet. GBIF Norges mandat omfatter nasjonal deltagelse i GBIF med internasjonal publisering av norske artsdata i henhold til internasjonale data-standarder som er forvaltet av GBIF.

GBIF-Norway node story lightning talk at GB26 in Leiden, October 2019Dag Endresen
The Nodes training at the start of the Nodes meeting focussed on Nodes strategies, administration, and governance tools. Some of the nodes stories were presented at the Global Nodes Meeting. Norway has an operational GBIF Node providing nationally important data pathways that are very well integrated into national information systems. However, there is not yet any solution in place for funding after 2019. In less than 3 months the node might be left without any node budget. Unfortunately, this is a situation far too many of the GBIF Nodes recognize alarmingly well - if they even have any appropriate node budget at all.

Reuse of biodiversity data published in GBIF, November 2017Dag Endresen
UiO CEES Friday seminar: Open and reusable research data with the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF)
If a tree falls in the forest and nobody reuses this information in peer review validated research — for what purpose did we then publish the event in GBIF?
Easy access to large data volumes is a new paradigm that researchers in many fields are starting to get used with. Production of good quality research data is very expensive and research councils and governments around the world, including Norway, are looking for scientific practices to maximize the reuse of research data for other purposes than what it was originally collected for. The Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF.org) is an open-data research infrastructure funded by the world’s governments and aimed at providing anyone, anywhere access to data about all types of life on Earth. GBIF was established in March 2001, following a recommendation from the OECD Mega-science Forum in 1999. Norway became a voting member in April 2004.
Dag Endresen is the national coordinator for the Norwegian participant node in GBIF. The Norwegian GBIF Node (GBIF.no) is hosted by the UiO Natural History Museum in Oslo and provides support (gbif-drift@nhm.uio.no) for publishing and using biodiversity data made available in GBIF to researchers and other users in Norway. In this presentation Dag Endresen will present the GBIF organisation with focus on examples for reuse of biodiversity data in ecological research and provide guidelines for publishing your own research data in GBIF.

Slide 1: Title Slide
Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Slide 2: Introduction to Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Definition: Extrachromosomal inheritance refers to the transmission of genetic material that is not found within the nucleus.
Key Components: Involves genes located in mitochondria, chloroplasts, and plasmids.
Slide 3: Mitochondrial Inheritance
Mitochondria: Organelles responsible for energy production.
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA): Circular DNA molecule found in mitochondria.
Inheritance Pattern: Maternally inherited, meaning it is passed from mothers to all their offspring.
Diseases: Examples include Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) and mitochondrial myopathy.
Slide 4: Chloroplast Inheritance
Chloroplasts: Organelles responsible for photosynthesis in plants.
Chloroplast DNA (cpDNA): Circular DNA molecule found in chloroplasts.
Inheritance Pattern: Often maternally inherited in most plants, but can vary in some species.
Examples: Variegation in plants, where leaf color patterns are determined by chloroplast DNA.
Slide 5: Plasmid Inheritance
Plasmids: Small, circular DNA molecules found in bacteria and some eukaryotes.
Features: Can carry antibiotic resistance genes and can be transferred between cells through processes like conjugation.
Significance: Important in biotechnology for gene cloning and genetic engineering.
Slide 6: Mechanisms of Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Non-Mendelian Patterns: Do not follow Mendel’s laws of inheritance.
Cytoplasmic Segregation: During cell division, organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts are randomly distributed to daughter cells.
Heteroplasmy: Presence of more than one type of organellar genome within a cell, leading to variation in expression.
Slide 7: Examples of Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Four O’clock Plant (Mirabilis jalapa): Shows variegated leaves due to different cpDNA in leaf cells.
Petite Mutants in Yeast: Result from mutations in mitochondrial DNA affecting respiration.
Slide 8: Importance of Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Evolution: Provides insight into the evolution of eukaryotic cells.
Medicine: Understanding mitochondrial inheritance helps in diagnosing and treating mitochondrial diseases.
Agriculture: Chloroplast inheritance can be used in plant breeding and genetic modification.
Slide 9: Recent Research and Advances
Gene Editing: Techniques like CRISPR-Cas9 are being used to edit mitochondrial and chloroplast DNA.
Therapies: Development of mitochondrial replacement therapy (MRT) for preventing mitochondrial diseases.
Slide 10: Conclusion
Summary: Extrachromosomal inheritance involves the transmission of genetic material outside the nucleus and plays a crucial role in genetics, medicine, and biotechnology.
Future Directions: Continued research and technological advancements hold promise for new treatments and applications.
Slide 11: Questions and Discussion
Invite Audience: Open the floor for any questions or further discussion on the topic.
Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.
Nutraceutical market, scope and growth: Herbal drug technologyLokesh Patil
As consumer awareness of health and wellness rises, the nutraceutical market—which includes goods like functional meals, drinks, and dietary supplements that provide health advantages beyond basic nutrition—is growing significantly. As healthcare expenses rise, the population ages, and people want natural and preventative health solutions more and more, this industry is increasing quickly. Further driving market expansion are product formulation innovations and the use of cutting-edge technology for customized nutrition. With its worldwide reach, the nutraceutical industry is expected to keep growing and provide significant chances for research and investment in a number of categories, including vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and herbal supplements.

DERIVATION OF MODIFIED BERNOULLI EQUATION WITH VISCOUS EFFECTS AND TERMINAL V...Wasswaderrick3
In this book, we use conservation of energy techniques on a fluid element to derive the Modified Bernoulli equation of flow with viscous or friction effects. We derive the general equation of flow/ velocity and then from this we derive the Pouiselle flow equation, the transition flow equation and the turbulent flow equation. In the situations where there are no viscous effects , the equation reduces to the Bernoulli equation. From experimental results, we are able to include other terms in the Bernoulli equation. We also look at cases where pressure gradients exist. We use the Modified Bernoulli equation to derive equations of flow rate for pipes of different cross sectional areas connected together. We also extend our techniques of energy conservation to a sphere falling in a viscous medium under the effect of gravity. We demonstrate Stokes equation of terminal velocity and turbulent flow equation. We look at a way of calculating the time taken for a body to fall in a viscous medium. We also look at the general equation of terminal velocity.
Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.

“A
primary
technical
impediment
to
large-‐scale
sharing
of
vegeta<on
data
is
the
lack
of
a
recognized
interna<onal
exchange
standard
for
linking
the
panoply
of
tools
and
database
implementa<ons
that
exist”
(…)
The
specimen-‐based
standards
cited
above
[Darwin
Core
and
ABCD],
however,
are
not
adequate
for
community
sampling
because
the
