Exchange of germplasm datasets with PyWrapper/BioCASE October 16, 2006 TDWG annual Meeting 2006 Missouri Botanical Garden St. Louis, Missouri, U.S.A. Dag Endresen, Nordic Gene Bank Johan Bäckman, Nordic Gene Bank Helmut Knüpffer, IPK Gatersleben Samy Gaiji, IPGRI, Bioversity International
TOPICS Genetic resources: Data standards Data exchange Information network Outlook
Germplasm data, seed genebanks Germplasm genebanks are biodiversity collections. Collection level data Metadata about genebank institutes and the germplasm collections they hold. Unit level data The unit level data for germplasm collections are the accessions. Genebank accessions share many properties and attributes with other biodiversity specimens.
Germplasm  Data Standards
IPGRI Crop Descriptors The IPGRI  crop descriptors  are developed to standardize characterization and evaluation data – called “descriptive data” in TDWG context. The MCPD (Multi Crop Passport Descriptors) is designed to standardize "passport  data" across crops. It enables compatibility with the IPGRI crop specific descriptor  lists and the FAO World Information and Early Warning System (WIEWS) and serves as a  basis for data exchange. The  MCPD  descriptor list was made fully compatible with ABCD 2.06
Generation Challenge Programme, GCP_Passport_1.03 The Generation Challenge Programme is a research and capacity building network that uses plant genetic diversity to produce better crop varieties for resource-poor farmers.  In the context of the GCP (Generation Challenge Programme), the  GCP  Passport  data exchange schema was developed.
GCP_Passport Upgrade to ABCD
PGR sub-unit of ABCD 2.06
Germplasm Data Catalogues
Germplasm catalogues Most genebank datasets are indexed by three major germplasm catalogues EURISCO  is the data catalogue of the European genebanks (836 725 accessions) SINGER  is the portal to the international CGIAR collections (442 635 accessions) USDA-GRIN  is the portal to the USDA ARS National Germplasm Repositories of the USA (464 586 accessions) All three catalogues are published in GBIF
Data warehouse model
Decentralized data network  with web services
Germplasm data exchange with PyWrapper/BioCASE GBIF technology demonstrated to IPGRI, FAO, CGIAR centres and genebanks (2005) and  widely adopted for PGR information networks  In the spring of 2004 the first European genebanks joined GBIF as data providers. In 2005 USDA-GRIN joined GBIF. In 2006 both SINGER and EURISCO joined GBIF. The germplasm datasets worldwide are compatible with the MCPD data standard. Sharing of germplasm datasets with GBIF was rather straight forward after mapping of the MCPD data standard to ABCD 2.06

Germplasm data indexing The genebanks are building data indexing methodologies for access to global germplasm data.  It is planned to build a “Clearing House Mechanism” for germplasm. This data portal is developed in cooperation with GBIF, which is also  harvesting global biodiversity data using a similar approach. [http://chm.grinfo.net]
Global Unique Identifiers, GUID ( LSID , Life Science Identifiers) [http://lsid.sourceforge.net/] Biodiversity informatics  workflow  tools (BioMOBY and Taverna) Work in progress
Outlook The compatibility of data standards between PGR and biodiversity collections made it possible to integrate the worldwide germplasm collections into the biodiversity community. Using GBIF technology (and contributing to its development), the PGR community can easily establish specific PGR networks without duplicating GBIF's work. Use of GBIF technology and integration of PGR collection data into GBIF allows PGR users to simultaneously search PGR collections and other biodiversity collections, and to  get access to the data (and possibly the material) of relevant biodiversity collections.  Users from the biodiversity community (who may not be aware of the existence of relevant material in genebanks) will find in GBIF genebank material of, e.g. crop wild relatives, along with data of the same species from herbaria, botanical gardens and floristic observations.
