The document discusses a meeting agenda between GBIF (Global Biodiversity Information Facility) and Elsevier to discuss opportunities for collaboration around data publishing and sharing biodiversity data. Some key points discussed in the agenda include GBIF's role in facilitating open access to biodiversity data, its data publishing framework to encourage data mobilization and sharing, and potential areas of collaboration around simultaneous publishing of data and scholarly articles.
The document discusses technical issues and opportunities for improving the Global Biodiversity Information Facility's (GBIF) registry and portals for discovering biodiversity resources. It analyzes GBIF's past use of UDDI registry and data portal, and outlines challenges in developing a new graph-based registry model to better represent the network of institutions, collections, and relationships. The new registry aims to improve discoverability through associating automated and human-generated metadata, uniquely identifying resources, and defining services and vocabularies.
Global biodiversity data is critical for conservation, policymaking, and scientific research. However, most data is held by small, isolated publishers and is difficult to access. The Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) aims to mobilize this "small data" by creating common data standards and tools to publish data through its Integrated Publishing Toolkit. This allows data to be discovered through GBIF's portal and used for applications like predicting climate change impacts and invasive species spread. GBIF calls on all data holders to publish their data openly through its framework to build a comprehensive global resource for biodiversity data.

Publishing biodiversity: The interplay between Scratchpads and the new Biodiv...Dimitrios Koureas
Scratchpads are virtual research environments that allow researchers to collect, curate, analyze, and publish biodiversity data in a seamless workflow. They facilitate open access to digital data through standardized modular platforms that allow data sharing and interlinking. The new Biodiversity Data Journal will publish taxonomic treatments, checklists, keys, and datasets that have been generated using Scratchpads. This will integrate the processes of conducting research and publishing results within a single online environment.
What happens when data start living their own life?Fing
This document discusses how data is changing and taking on a life of its own. It notes that data used to be ad hoc constructions for programs but is now natively digital and user-generated. This has led to new possibilities for real-time knowledge production but also challenges around managing and making sense of the large amount of diverse data. It suggests data now needs to be meaningful, reliable, consistent, documented, linked, accessible, and reusable across many different contexts.

After The Land Grab: 10 Trends Shaping Big Data’s Next StageMediaPost
In the first stages of the data revolution, marketers realized that all types of data have the potential to inform and transform every level of the modern enterprise. And so a massive land grab fed everyone’s basic data sets. But now real experience working with data and practicalities of the market are informing the next stage in development reflecting users’ contrasting needs to generate incremental value from their data utilization. Maintaining discipline in investment of money and resources and in delivering better customer experiences are now paramount concerns. With that in mind, we’ll identify the 10 dynamics that we expect will dictate demand for (and the relative value of) data in 2013.

Chris Rourke - Beyond our shores: UX Research and Design for International Cu...UCDUK
User experience research and User Centred Design must account for not only the user but also where they live. The surrounding culture, including traditions, language and even religion can have a big impact on the best user experience research methods, design recommendations and also the general uptake of solutions. For multi-national organisations with digital channels, getting this aspect right can mean the difference between a highly effective and enjoyable experience and one that underperforms and confuses users. The talk will explore some ways in which user-centred design research and recommendations can account for local cultures and international factors. How can local culture affect what methods work best and how design ideas can be presented most effectively? We will use examples from various parts of the world, including a case study of researching web accessibility in the Middle East. The project showed how some local cultural factors impacted web accessibility provisions, and recommends an approach to create a viable accessibility “market” including organisations, digital suppliers and people with disabilities. User Vision has worked with several multinational organisations from offices in the UK and the UAE, and will share experiences that they and others in the UX community have gained.

Conceptualising Framework for Local Biodiversity Heritage Sites (LBHS): A Bio...Vishwas Chavan
This document proposes a conceptual framework for establishing Local Biodiversity Heritage Sites (LBHS) in Maharashtra, India based on a social-ecological model. It discusses how the Biological Diversity Act of 2002 allows local communities to designate biodiversity-rich areas as heritage sites. The framework identifies potential LBHS in two habitats: sacred groves, which are forest patches traditionally protected for their cultural and ecological values; and rocky plateaus, which support unique biodiversity through indigenous management practices. The document argues LBHS can preserve genetic resources, species, ecosystems, knowledge, culture and traditions as a legacy for future generations.
State Biodiversity Boards: Towards Better GovernanceVishwas Chavan
India’s Biological Diversity Act, 2002, and the three-tier
implementation mechanism of the National Biodiversity Authority (NBA), the State Biodiversity Board (SBB), the Union Territory Biodiversity Council (UTBC) and the Biodiversity Management Committee (BMC) is close to two decades old. However, our collective and compounding national progress is much less than satisfactory. One of the major reasons is lack of empowerment
of the SBBs, the UTBCs and resultantly passive functioning of the BMCs. Bottom-upward empowerment of BMCs to SBBs and UTBCs is crucial in order to achieve the National Biodiversity Targets (NBT) and other national biodiversity conservation and sustainable development ambitions. In this article, author proposes a five pillared work program that can help empower
the SBBs and UTBCs that can result in vibrant and optimally governing BMCs. Some or all of the activities mentioned in this article may have been initiated or implemented by few SBBs and UTBCs. However, author calls for coordinated and performance evaluation mechanism being developed and steered by SBBs and UTBC to achieve the national goal of development inclusive biodiversity conservation.

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.
The document discusses GBIF's 2010-2011 work programme highlights related to improving content for science and society. It outlines GBIF's approach to focus on community needs, expand content coverage to include multimedia and observations, and increase relevance through facilitating the flow of data and information to scientific publications and decisions. It also analyzes current coverage and content biases and trends to help guide GBIF's science focus in 2011.
This document discusses data citation mechanisms and services for primary biodiversity data. It outlines the need for data citation to provide recognition for data producers and publishers. An ideal data citation framework would address social, technical, and policy issues to incentivize all stakeholders. Core technical components would include persistent identifiers, a data citation mechanism, and a data usage index. The document reviews the history calling for data citation standards and proposes requirements for an effective data citation model, including attributing roles across data production and publication. It also examines challenges in developing data citation practices.
The document summarizes the recommendations of the GBIF Governing Board's Global Strategy and Action Plan for Mobilization of Natural History Collections Data task group. The task group recommends that GBIF facilitate discovery of non-digital collection resources, increase efficiency of data capture and quality of digitized specimens, and improve infrastructure for publishing digitized collection data globally.
The document summarizes the state of data publishing through the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) network. It finds that while data records are increasing, the rate of increase is declining. Developing regions contribute the most data, with the Avian Knowledge Network as the single largest data publisher. Over 2.4 billion records have been identified by GBIF participants but only around 800 million are accessible digitally and participants have committed to publishing less than 25% of available records by 2010. There remains a need for more strategic and planned approaches to data discovery and publishing with an emphasis on both local and global efforts.
This article discusses Balanophora, a rare and endangered plant found in North East India. It belongs to the family Balanophoraceae. The 15 species in the genus are native to the Old World Tropics. Most species are parasites on tree roots and are found in dense forests in the Himalayan region. They have underground inflorescences that rupture and emerge above ground. The plants are dioecious. Balanophora is listed as an endangered species under Indian law and prohibited from export due to its rarity. The article provides a brief description of the plant's rhizome, scapes, and reproductive structure.
This document provides an overview of bioinformatics education in India. It discusses how bioinformatics education has evolved from short workshops to formal degree programs over time. A key development was the establishment of the Biotechnology Information System network in the 1980s by the Department of Biotechnology, which helped develop bioinformatics infrastructure and training programs in India. The document then describes the current landscape of bioinformatics education in India, including a case study of the master's program in bioinformatics at the University of Pune. It concludes by noting that many universities and institutions now offer bioinformatics education at various levels to train students for careers in this growing field.
The document summarizes recommendations from the GBIF GSAP-NHC Task Group on improving the publishing of natural history collections data. It recommends that GBIF facilitate access to information about non-digital collections, work to increase the efficiency of digitizing specimen data and enhance data quality, and improve the global infrastructure for publishing digitized collections data.
The document discusses GBIF's (Global Biodiversity Information Facility) goals of facilitating open access to biodiversity data worldwide to support scientific research. GBIF shares over 200 million biodiversity records through data publishers and resources. The document proposes a Data Publishing Framework to improve data mobilization and cultural acceptance of open data sharing. It describes challenges to the framework and its potential impacts, such as increased data usage and quality through incentives like data papers and a Data Usage Index.
The document summarizes recommendations from the GBIF GSAP-NHC Task Group on improving the digitization and publication of natural history collection data. It recommends that GBIF facilitate discovery of non-digital collection resources, increase efficiency and quality of data capture, and improve global infrastructure for publishing digitized collection data. Specifically, it calls for GBIF to publicize non-digital metadata, assess the scale of undigitized specimens, support technological innovations for digitization, and strengthen hosting and identification of published data.
The document discusses technologies and infrastructure for publishing biodiversity data from environmental impact assessments (EIA). It covers the types and formats of EIA biodiversity data, tools for data capture and digitization, platforms for data discovery and publishing, ensuring data quality, and hosting data centers to facilitate long-term archiving and publishing of EIA biodiversity data.
The document discusses the need for a Global Biodiversity Resources Discovery System (GBRDS) to address challenges in discovering biodiversity data. It proposes that GBRDS would act as a registry and discovery service to facilitate finding biodiversity information resources. GBRDS would provide an integrated 'yellow pages' reference for all biodiversity data by reconciling distributed resources and allowing meaningful discovery of data and services in a distributed manner. The document outlines how GBRDS could empower discovery of biodiversity data resources.
The document discusses the Global Biodiversity Resources Discovery System (GBRDS) registry which aims to create a single indexed registry of biodiversity data sources. It outlines activities to develop the registry including building a flexible database, user interface, and API. The registry will integrate distributed biodiversity data and enable discovery of institutions, collections, services, and more.
