Biodiversity Information Networks: Dataflows for interdisciplinary sciencesGBIF_NPT
Danis and Parsons, presentation given at the World Conference on Marine Biodiversity, Aberdeen, September 2011.
ANSTRACT: In this paper, we present SCAR’s Marine Biodiversity Information Network (SCAR-MarBIN, www.scarmarbin.be), introduce the new Antarctic Biodiversity Information Facility (ANTABIF, www.biodiversity.aq) and argue that it has become vital and practicable to support an international mechanism for the exchange of scientific data. This approach allows to integrate large data volumes, and helps modern biologists to face a “data deluge” using new techniques and technologies currently developed in the field of biodiversity informatics. Biodiversity is an example of data-intensive science, and certainly requires an interdisciplinary, scalable approach to address complex systemic problems such as environmental change and its impact on marine ecosystems. This paper discusses the experience of data scientists seeking to collect, curate, and provide data during the timeframe of the International Polar Year. The data content of the SCAR-MarBIN and ANTABIF holdings has been explored, and recent published analyses are used to illustrate concrete examples. We find that while technology is a critical factor to address this dimension, the greater challenges are more socio-cultural than technical. We describe a vision of discoverable, open, linked, useful, and safe data and suggest the need for a rapid socio-technical evolution in the overall science data ecosystem.

VERSO: Ecosystem Responses in the Southern OceanBruno Danis
General presentation of the BELSPO funded vERSO (Ecosystem Resoponses to Changes in the Southern Ocean) project. More information on www.versoproject.be
A new atlas, providing the most thorough audit of marine life in the Southern Ocean, is published this week by the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR). Leading marine biologists and oceanographers from all over the world spent the last four years compiling everything they know about ocean species from microbes to whales. It’s the first time that such an effort has been undertaken since 1969 when the American Society of Geography published its Antarctic Map Folio Series.
In an unprecedented international collaboration 147 scientists from 91 institutions across 22 countries (Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, the UK and the USA) combined their expertise and knowledge to produce the new Biogeographic Atlas of the Southern Ocean. More than 9000 species are recorded, ranging from microbes to whales. Hundreds of thousands of records show the extent of scientific knowledge on the distribution of life in the Southern Ocean. In 66 chapters, the scientists examine the evolution, physical environment, genetics and possible impact of climate change on marine organisms in the region.
Chief editor, Claude De Broyer, of the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, said: “This is the first time that all the records of the unique Antarctic marine biodiversity, from the very beginnings of Antarctic exploration in the days of Captain Cook, have been compiled, analysed and mapped by the scientific community. It has resulted in a comprehensive atlas and an accessible database of useful information on the conservation of Antarctic marine life.”
Register of Antarctic Marine Species - AquaRESBruno Danis

An overview of Antarctic biodiversity networksBruno Danis
The document summarizes Bruno Danis' presentation on Antarctic Biodiversity Networks at the GBIF Science Symposium 2011. Some key points:
- Antarctic Treaty of 1959 inspired sharing of scientific data from Antarctica freely.
- SCAR-MarBIN and ANTABIF facilitate open access to Antarctic biodiversity data through various tools and portals.
- Achievements include the Reference Antarctic Marine Species database, over 1 million georeferenced records published through GBIF and OBIS, and community projects like the Antarctic Field Guides and Biogeography Atlas of the Southern Ocean.
- Future challenges include continued technological improvements and promoting a culture of open data sharing in the Antarctic community.
The document discusses two biodiversity information networks - SCAR-MarBIN and ANTABIF - that provide free and open access to Antarctic biodiversity data. They follow a general philosophy of building an electronic ecosystem that exposes biodiversity data and metadata in multiple contexts through community collaboration and standardization. The networks have developed web portals, taxonomic and geospatial databases, field guides, and tools that follow open standards to facilitate data sharing and discovery. Projects aim to georeference genetic data and develop a Southern Ocean biogeography atlas.
Antarctic ozone evolution since 1898 and the International Polar yearsBruno Danis
This document summarizes the evolution of Antarctic ozone observations since the first International Polar Year in 1898. It notes that the first scientific expedition to Antarctica was in 1898-1899 by a Belgian-led international team. Early observations from this period showed conditions like polar stratospheric clouds that are now known to contribute to ozone depletion. Systematic ozone monitoring began in the 1930s and Belgian scientists participated in subsequent International Polar Years, installing ozone monitoring stations in Antarctica and Africa. The first detection of the ozone hole occurred in the early 1980s by Japanese and British scientists, though it may have been discovered earlier if an International Polar Year had been organized in 1983 when conditions were suitable.
This document provides information about SCAR-MarBIN and ANTABIF, which are web platforms that provide open access to marine biodiversity data. SCAR-MarBIN was funded by various organizations and aims to build a network of biodiversity data, adopt standards, and make data accessible to science, conservation and management. It contains over 1 million records from 138 datasets covering over 5,200 taxa. ANTABIF is being developed to create a new portal for Antarctic biodiversity data. Both aim to ensure the long-term continuation of sharing biodiversity data networks.

Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their MainframePrecisely
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.
