Community Standards and Tools for Biodiversity Science at NIEHD
Biodiversity science is a broad discipline, and there have been multiple efforts to standardize data within and across various sub-disciplines. Darwin Core (DwC) is a standard vocabulary for biodiversity data that has primarily been used by the museum community to describe specimens and observations of taxa. The Minimum Information about any (x) Sequence (MIxS) specifies minimum metadata for use by the genomic and metagenomic communities. The Extensible Observation Ontology (OBO-E) was developed at the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis to more precisely describe ecological data collection. The first part of this talk describes how the Biological Collections Ontology project is developing both the ontology and associated tools to link data from across these three efforts. The second half describes the Data Commons being developed by the iPlant Collaborative, and how it is both taking advantage of and supporting further development of existing community standards for biological data.

Designing a synergistic relationship between undergraduate Data Science educa...
Biodiversity data is extremely approachable – the concept of a specimen existing in time and place is clear to grasp and interesting to a wide range of people. I exploited this inherent feature of Biodiversity data to create an educational framework for teaching undergraduate Data Science. The project utilized Discovery Learning theory, based in the belief that it is best for learners to discover facts and relationships for themselves. Students were given a choice of databases and were mentored through an entire data analysis pipeline, including gathering, cleaning, analyzing, and visualization of the data. Their work culminates into a tutorial posted online (curiositydata.org) – instilling proper documentation, open science, and data management techniques. These tutorials can then be used and remixed as documentation for the databases, curriculum, and workshops detailing how to access and analyze the databases data. Increased documentation will overcome accessibility challenges that plague many Biodiversity databases, in an overarching aim to increase the usage and in turn value of these vital data resources. Computer Science, Statistics, and Biology undergraduates are increasingly “data literate”, and if mentored properly, we can foster a symbiotic relationship between the real-world Data Science education and the increase of usability of Biodiversity databases.

The North Carolina State {University} Insect Museum is working to image every drawer in the 1.5 million specimen collection and disseminate these data through the Web. The effort is worthwhile in that we expose the "research only" collection to the public, allow for remote curation of specimens, and enable more informed loan requests. The details and process for creating GigaPan (zoomable, mega-pixel images of entire drawers of specimens) images are outlined in the talk. Secondly, as part of a CollectionsWeb Research Coordination Network (RCN) funded internship awarded to Babi Hammond, preliminary results of a survey is presented looking at the use of online entomological collection data. Survey participants are asked to review and rate the utility of multiple online presentations of collection data; specimen information without images, GigaPan images, and detailed images with specimen data. The results will help institutions with entomological collections and the Advancing Digitization of Biological Collections (ADBC) program participants better understand how to apply their resources and digitization efforts.

Towards Incidental Collaboratories; Research Data Services
This document discusses enabling "incidental collaboratories" by collecting and connecting biological research data through a centralized framework. It argues that biology research is currently quite isolated due to its small scale and competitive nature. The framework would involve storing experimental data with metadata, allowing analyses across similar experiment types and biological subjects, and preserving data long-term with access controls. This could help move labs from being isolated to being "sensors in a network" and address objections around data ownership and quality.

Biodiversity informatics involves making biodiversity data accessible through digitization, standardization, and publishing. Biodiversity data is used for taxonomy, biogeography, endangered species monitoring, and more. Key challenges include resolving scientific names and data quality. Major organizations include GBIF, Global Names, and Canadensys which works to mobilize Canadian specimen records. Additional resources can be found through conferences, organizations, and online communities.
GlobalNames - Canadensys - Shorthouse
This document discusses Global Names Recognition and Discovery (GNRD), a high throughput system for extracting scientific names from documents. GNRD uses multiple name-finding engines like NetiNeti and TaxonFinder to extract names from text and OCR'd documents. It outputs the names and their locations in JSON/XML format. Over 15,000 OCR'd articles from 1868-2002 were processed by GNRD, extracting 158,000 unique scientific names. The document also discusses using Darwin Core terms for taxonomic name searches and representations. It provides examples of biodiversity databases like AntWeb and VASCAN that implement taxonomic name search using Darwin Core terms. Suggestions are made for AntCat to also adopt similar

The document discusses plans for a Drupal taxonomy code sprint to improve how Drupal handles hierarchical taxonomies, large vocabularies, and term reconciliation. It notes challenges with multiple taxonomies, permissions, search integration, and semantic web applications. Participants will submit code patches to Drupal and participate in a Google Code project. Back-porting solutions to D5 is discussed. Examples like the Encyclopedia of Life and biology sites using workarounds are provided, with EOL's taxon-centric approach and LifeDesk profiles outlined. Taxonomy management is highlighted as important for projects like EOL and term reconciliation.

This document discusses managing taxonomy data for biodiversity projects. It provides background on previous work using Drupal to manage taxonomy for various education projects. It describes issues with using the taxonomy.module to manage taxonomy, including handling synonyms, common names, ranks, and authorship. It also discusses how the ADW taxonomy was built from multiple sources and how taxonomy data could be better managed in the future by separating source data and building composite classifications to import into other databases.
Improving Drupal Taxonomy Editor
The document discusses improving the Drupal Taxonomy Editor for biological taxonomy. It describes tasks like name editing, classification editing, and reconciliation. Name editing involves adding, changing, and deleting species names. Classification editing allows changing the hierarchy and ranks of organisms. Reconciliation groups different names for the same species together. The ideal editor would allow quickly editing names, classifications, and reconciliations with features like flags, ranks, synonyms, and a two-window interface. However, the current Drupal editor is relatively slow and lacks some of these key capabilities.

GNSS spoofing via SDR (Criptored Talks 2024)
In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.

High performance Serverless Java on AWS- GoTo Amsterdam 2024
Java is for many years one of the most popular programming languages, but it used to have hard times in the Serverless community. Java is known for its high cold start times and high memory footprint, comparing to other programming languages like Node.js and Python. In this talk I'll look at the general best practices and techniques we can use to decrease memory consumption, cold start times for Java Serverless development on AWS including GraalVM (Native Image) and AWS own offering SnapStart based on Firecracker microVM snapshot and restore and CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) runtime hooks. I'll also provide a lot of benchmarking on Lambda functions trying out various deployment package sizes, Lambda memory settings, Java compilation options and HTTP (a)synchronous clients and measure their impact on cold and warm start times.
