Contributing images to the Encyclopedia of Life (EOL) can be done by uploading images and videos to a Flickr account and sharing them with the EOL Images Flickr group. Images should be tagged with taxonomic information and assigned a Creative Commons license to be harvested by EOL. Once harvested, images will appear on EOL pages as unreviewed content until curated. Detailed steps are provided on adding tags, licenses, sharing content, and having images displayed on EOL.
The document provides instructions for sharing videos on YouTube and Vimeo with the Encyclopedia of Life (EOL) project. It outlines the steps to upload videos to each platform, add required taxonomic tags and creative commons licenses, and notifying EOL so videos can be harvested and displayed on relevant taxon pages. Videos must be properly licensed and tagged with taxon information in order to be included. The document guides users through each step to successfully contribute content.
The document provides instructions for creating collections on the Encyclopedia of Life (EOL) website. It explains that collections allow users to group species pages, images, videos and other content to create field guides, games, checklists and more. It outlines the steps to search for content, add items to a new or existing collection, add notes and share collections with other users or through communities. It also describes how collections can be used to create field guides, memory games, bingo games or shared projects on the iNaturalist website.
The Encyclopedia of Life is a collaborative online resource that aggregates information about the 1.9 million known species into taxon pages. It brings together content from various partners, including scientists, museums, and universities. Each taxon page contains tabs with overview information, details, media, maps, names and classifications, community interactions, resources, and literature about that species. Users can search for species and filter results. The EOL prioritizes completing pages for species lacking information and works with students and faculty to contribute new summaries.
The Road to TraitBank: What's Next for the Encyclopedia of LifeCyndy Parr
The document discusses plans to expand the Encyclopedia of Life (EOL) database to include a new "TraitBank" that will store trait data for millions of species. Currently, EOL contains basic information pages for over 1 million species but lacks details on species traits. The first step is adding limited trait data to EOL pages through a new funding initiative focused on marine species. The long term goal is to create a larger TraitBank database that can handle vast amounts of trait data, promote best practices, and enable crowd-sourcing contributions to facilitate research. By linking trait information to species on EOL, it will become a more powerful open resource for studying biodiversity.
The document provides instructions for creating a customized memory game using the Encyclopedia of Life (EOL) website. It outlines the steps to create a free EOL account, build an EOL collection of species pages or images, make a free account on the EOL Education Apps page, and then select that collection to generate a memory game where users try to match species pictures. It also explains how to add notes to collection items that will display when matches are made during the game.
This document provides step-by-step instructions for creating a free account on the Encyclopedia of Life (EOL) website. It explains that users can sign up using an existing email or social media account, or by creating a new username and password. It also notes that educators can create a shared login for their class. Once an account is created, the user must verify their email address by clicking a link in a confirmation email before being able to log in to EOL and access additional features like creating collections or leaving comments.

Getty Images is working with Flickr members by having editors contact photographers via FlickrMail if they are interested in including their public photos in The Flickr Collection on Getty Images. Photographers must then sign up as Getty Images Contributors and submit their photos for review. The document also provides a long list of third party tools and sites that interface with Flickr through its API to allow photo searching, uploading, downloading, organizing and more. It concludes by asking if anyone has any other questions or comments.
Flickr is a photo sharing website that allows users to store, sort, search, and share their photos online for free with basic accounts or paid Pro accounts. Basic accounts provide 20MB of monthly uploads and limited photo storage, while Pro accounts provide more storage and upload space as well as permanent archiving of original photos. Users can upload photos via the web interface, desktop applications, or email and then organize their photos into sets, add tags and descriptions, and share photos on their profile, in groups, or on blogs.
This PPT was created as a tool to educate teachers on what Flickr is and how it can be used educationally in the classroom. Topics include labeling parts of flowers for science, and using the world map for a virtual field trip.

This document summarizes a presentation on using taxonomy in Drupal. It discusses using taxonomy for photo galleries by allowing photos to be categorized and tagged without creating albums first. It also discusses using taxonomy to categorize all content types by adding terms through free tagging. Finally, it discusses contrib taxonomy modules like Taxonomy Manager and Content Taxonomy, and new features in Drupal 7 like taxonomy entities and fields.
Flickr is a photo sharing website that allows users to upload photos, tag them, organize them into groups and sets, discuss photos in comment threads, and search for other photos. It facilitates more interaction than earlier photo sharing sites by allowing users to discuss photos, search for photos based on tags, and share photos through groups and contacts. Users can get Flickr accounts through Yahoo or by directly signing up, and then learn to use Flickr through online tutorials. Flickr makes it easy to upload, organize, discuss and find photos.
Jan McGee introduces Flickr, an online photo sharing and management application.
