Summary 1. Introduction: about this speech… 2. Today: sharing data using existing tools – Di. GIR, Bio. CASe, TAPIR… 3. GBIF Integrated Publishing Toolkit: a new tool for easy data sharing The Global Biodiversity Information Facility
Introduction The Global Biodiversity Information Facility
The Protocols Distributed Generic Information Retrieval (Di. GIR) http: //digir. sourceforge. net/ Biological Collection Access Service (Bio. CASe) http: //www. biocase. org/ TDWG Access Protocol for Information Retrieval (TAPIR) http: //www. tdwg. org/activities/tapir/ The Global Biodiversity Information Facility
The Standards Body Biodiversity Information Standards (TDWG) http: //www. tdwg. org The Global Biodiversity Information Facility
Wrapper tools Which to choose? Recommendation today • TAPIRLink (PHP) for simple “flat” data • Bio. CASe Py. Wrapper (Python) for more complex data (e. g multiple identifications) The Global Biodiversity Information Facility
The Integrated Publishing Toolkit is under development today by GBIF …to be launched March 2009 The Global Biodiversity Information Facility
The Integrated Publishing Toolkit • Occurrence data • Names and taxonomic data • Dataset Descriptive data (Metadata) • Use with your own database • Upload files (e. g Excel, CSV, Tab files. . ) • Extend the codebase (e. g. Serve more types) • Access external services (e. g. Quality Control) The Global Biodiversity Information Facility
The Integrated Publishing Toolkit Protocols • TAPIR • Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) • • Web Feature Service (WFS) • Web Map Service (WMS) Simple harvesting protocol • To be a TDWG standard 2008… • Taxonomic Concept Schema (TCS) • Ecological Markup Language (EML) The Global Biodiversity Information Facility
The Integrated Publishing Toolkit Web Application • Discover your data!!! • Taxonomic browsing • Searching • Charts, graphs, maps etc… • Issue logs • Access services for quality control • User feedback captured …all from an excel spreadsheet! The Global Biodiversity Information Facility

Future 1. Improving the data flow • Simplified harvesting and data mobilisation 2. Improving quality • Registry of external services providers can access • Decentralising the reporting of quality 3. Data types • Extending the occurrence data model (sampling events, plots, projects) • Checklist formats • Inclusion of more metadata standards (FGDC Bio. Profile, EML, ISO etc) • Images, multimedia etc 4. Documentation and training • Documentation available in many languages • Online training (e. g. video casting for installation) • Network of “trainers” The GBIF Data Portal
