Guidelines for biodiversity conservation and restoration in the State of São Paulo.

The map produced by the BIOTA/FAPESP Program was adopted by the State Secretary of Agriculture to prohibit sugar cane expansion in the areas prioritize by the program for biodiversity conservation and restoration.

Database of geo- referenced Sao Paulo’s Biodiversity records species SinBIOTA

SinBIOTA: shortcomings hard to expanded with new modules not portable hard to replicate for other states or regions need to check geographic coordinates for species occurrences need to check spelling of species names

SinBIOTA 2.0: Plan for evolution Reference Document - Specification Public call for implementation groups Implementation (possibly one module at a time)

Community Meeting: researchers and students discussion of future directions for the BIOTA Program 2 full days resulted in “Science Plan & Strategies for the Next decade” suppl. material of Science paper

Community requirements Import all data from current system Must be easily replicable and portable, to allow use in other states and regions Must be easily expandable, to allow future inclusion of new modules

Community requirements (cont.) Built in dictionary of species names, to avoid mistakes due to misspeling Built in mechanism of data auditory, to avoid mistakes due to wrong geographic coordinates Import/export mechanisms to/from specialized tools (species distribution, niche modeling, etc.)

TOOLS MaxEnt Open Modeler DIVA Gis

Expand carthographic base

Full interoperability

Fapesp/Microsoft Research Two-year, jointly funded project Started Decembro 2009 Goals: – Reference Document (specification) for SinBIOTA 2.0 – Implementation of prototype for SinBIOTA 2.0

Visits to users to get feedback Study of GBIF, OBIS, ALA, EOL, etc. Scalability and security of large DBs Multimodal data and search Survey of map systems Specialized tools (sp. distribution, etc.) Data mining, knowledge discovery Use of mobile clients Cloud computing Social networks Reference Document: topics

Current Database Schema Lack of integrity constraints Each taxon rank as individual table

Class Modeling + Object-Relational Mapping New Database Schema

Each taxon group is a row in Taxon table Rank is attribute of taxon group Explicit parent / child relationship Taxonomy Class/Table

System architecture: prototype

Implementation with Bing Maps

Heat Map with Population

Color Map United Nations' Human Development Index
