BIS TDWG Conference, New Orleans, 2011 GBIF: the challenges of intra- and inter-operability at large scales David Remsen Senior Programme Officer Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF)

Status of GBIF Improved intra-operability Focus on sustainability Empowerment of users through interoperabilty Bridging of gaps across levels: – local – national – international

About GBIF 341 publishers 9290 datasets 310M records The mission of the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) is to facilitate free and open access to biodiversity data worldwide via the Internet to underpin sustainable development. 57 countries 45 organisations

Achieving intra-operability Simplified data standards – Darwin Core Archives Improved data publication processes – Integrated Publishing Toolkit – Spreadsheet-based publishing Improved integration – New taxonomic resources – Improved data processing

Issue #2: Geospatial integration Issue #3: Taxonomic integration Issue #1: The consequences of scale – from gateway to central index Intra-operability challenges

Geo-referenced USA data Verbatim data as shared on the network

Geo-referenced USA data Data following interpretation -Coastal regions recognised -Offshore islands recognised

The number of authority files published through GBIF has doubled in 2011

Trochilidae (Hummingbirds) (today) Misinterpretations (Hummingbirds are restricted to the Americas)

Trochilidae (Hummingbirds) (next month) Improved interpretation

2007Today 70 million million 180 million 201 million 302 million Growth

2007Today 70 million million 180 million 201 million 302 million Growth Need for a new standard identified

Promotion of Publishing Standards > 2500 downloads English/French/Spanish

Focus on Sustainability

Highlight Use Cases

Empower users through interoperability Enable scientific research that has never before been possible

Change in suitability for cultivating common bean across the world, from present to 2020, showing a global loss in suitability, especially in Africa. Using biodiversity data: Ecological Niche Modeling

Integration: WCMC World Protected Areas

Integration: GBIF & IUCN Red List

CBD Access & Benefit Sharing (Nagoya) Protocol

Bridge Gaps From local to national to international

BIODIVERCITIES TECHNICAL REFERENCE GROUP Advocacy SERVICES ENTRY POINTS FOR CITIES BiodiverCities BiodiverCities Advisory Committee: High-level coordination group On invitation: outstanding cities and selected organisations. GLOBAL PARTNERSHIP Technical Support Policy Consultation Cities in Biodiversity Hotspots URBIS & more to come Profiling Tools & Resources LAB Guidebook TEEB Report & Manual Guidelines & Case Studies LBSAPs Durban Commitment and more... LAB Pioneer Biodiversity & Climate Change LAB Pioneer Biodiversity & CEPA LAB Pioneer The goal of the BiodiverCities Programme is to guide, support, capacitate and motivate local governments and their partners to integrate biodiversity and ecosystem-based planning into all aspects of policy, decision making and implementation activities to result in enhanced biodiversity conservation and more sustainable local economic development. Acknowledgement of accountability and responsibility for the health and well-being of communities and recognition of biodiversity and essential ecosystem services as the foundation of our existence are core components of the goal. BiodiverCities Programme

Accessing data from the GBIF network (using polygons from

Montreal (526 points, 71,759 occurrences)

Bridging National Gaps: National Data Portals Increased geospatial granularity (national to county) Nationally-relevant thematic layers

Bridging International Gaps: Mobilising new sources of biodiversity data
