- 3. GBIF: an intergovernmental initiative to share biodiversity information Currently 52 countries; 36 International Organisations…
- 4. • free and open data under a common standard
- 5. How GBIF is perceived
- 6. But indeed Do You Think data Grows On Trees? …and produced
- 7. Where is the infrastructure in GBIF? • Physical infrastructure – Physical infrastructure, cyberinfrastructure, human resources, and expertise, and program management and coordination. • Information infrastructure – Data workflows – Datasets – Data openness – Data products • Capability infrastructure – Knowledge base and management, training – Standard development – Data gateways development
- 9. Data acquisition – Field sampling – Digitalization • collections • literature – Other sources (citizen science, IAs,… GBIF is data from everyone to everyone ... this includes LTER and other observatory-based data Data processing – Protocols – Standards – QA/QC – Documentation/Metadata Datasets – Publication – Archival – Usage Avoid duplication > first, knowing what we know,… Culture change > data for the imediate ends, also to be reusable Data workflows Information infrastructure

- 11. Data openness in GBIF Accesible One entry point: data.gbif.org; all data queryable using a single interface; under a common data profile: Darwin Core. Other ways to access data avaliable; moving into Semantic Web Assessable Each dataset is made available along its corresponding metadata set; following the Ecological metadata language (EML) Standard describing Intelligible GBIF is focused on “primary data” not in summarized data or results. So analyses can be replicated and conclusions claimed, evaluated. Usable All data downloadable; a common data sharing framework (GBIF’s data use agreement; specific data set use conditions, moving into a standard, Open Database License framework) Information infrastructure
