1. FishNet 2 Collaborative Georeferencing Workshop Lawrence, KS 10-11, Jan 2013

2. History 1999: Creation of original FishNet Network Z39.50 protocol for sharing data Search via Species Analyst (distributed query model) 2005: FishNet 2 created Search via DiGIR Portal (distributed query model) Harvesting of DiGIR, DwCA, IPT, Static Spreadsheets Search via FishNet 2 Portal (centralized query model) 2010: FishNet 2 (centralized query model) Transition to DiGIR Protocol 2012-2016: Portal & data expansion and enhancement

3. Global network of fish collections 48 data providers 3.2 million lots 30+ million specimens 57% georeferenced

4. Generalizing FishNet 2: The Biological Object Search Service (BOSS)

5. Full Text Searches Common Names Synonyms Institutional Temporal Geographic

6. Enabling Spatial Queries

7. Search Results Occurrence Records Geographic Summary Taxon Summary Provider Summary

8. Downloading & Visualizing Results

9. www.fishnet2.net/api/v1/occurrence/? api=myapikey&t=percina aurora Search API Characteristics – “REST” like style – Output in CSV or Tab – API Key to track usage Services – Taxon – Provider – Occurrence – Occurrence Counts Allows integration with research workflows Percina aurora

11. Reporting

12. Reporting Details

13. by the Numbers Number of Records Number of Queries or Visitors

14. Current Project Goals: To expand the number of records within FishNet to approximately 4 million lots representing over 30 million specimens To georeference all "georeferencable" records lacking geographic coordinates To repatriate results to source data providers

15. Georeferencing Collaborators

16. “Preliminary” Assignments 2 out of 4 million records in need of georeferencing ~290,000 locality records
