  1. Metadatabase Inventarisation of Dutch institutes and organisations holding biodiversity information Natural history collections, observation data: Who is who?  names, addresses, websites Who has what?  collections, observations expertise

  2. Biological Collection Access Service for Europe Availability, location and digital status of biodiversity data Will these data become published on-line? Can NLBIF stimulate disclosure of these collections and observation data? What are obstacles for digitisation or on-line publication? Metadatabase BioCASE GBIF

  3. 2004: filling the Metadatabase with data -> Nederlandse Museumvereniging, websites -> Index herbariorum, IPGRI, CABRI, BioCISE Questionnaire NLBIF Printed version will be published at the end of 2004 Metadatabase under construction on website www.nlbif.nl

  4. Questionnaire send to ca. 60 organisations in the Netherlands 16 returned (ca. 27%) • size and characteristics of collections and observation data • digitisation status and bottlenecks • operating systems, database management / standards • willingness to publish these databases on the Internet • willingness to make them available to GBIF (via NLBIF) • familiarity with GBIF and NLBIF?

  5. Characteristics of collections and observation data

  6. Qualities of collections / observation data

  7. What types of natural history collections ? Total # specimens (millions) Higher plants Ferns Mosses Fungi Algae Other Botanical collections National Herbarium of the Netherlands

  8. Zoological collections in the Netherlands Specimens (millions) mostly ZMA and Naturalis

  9. Total # specimens plants animals fungi bacteria Botanical gardens, Zoos, Fungal Biodiversity Centre

  10. Digitisation status All collections/observations/information digitised Alterra Centrum Ecosystemen, Wageningen Center for Genetic Resources, Wageningen Hortus Leiden Hubrecht Laboratorium, Utrecht NIOO Yerseke RAVON Nijmegen RIVM Bilthoven RIVO IJmuiden CBS Utrecht (nearly all digitised)

  11. Digitisation status: lots of work to do! ZMA 11.9 million specimens: 2.8 % digitised Naturalis 8.5 million specimens: 13.3 % digitised NHN 6.1 million specimens: 11 % digitised

  12. Have you published your data on the Internet? Are you planning to do so? • 50 % of respondents has web-based databases for (parts of) data • 30% is planning develop them in near future • 20% has no intention to publish their data on the web • -> never thought about it • -> commercial interest individual researchers • -> not allowed by funding agencies • -> no money / people / computers to do this • -> we are still discussing if we are going to do it • -> we first want to make data available within institute

  13. Is your database connected to other (worldwide) services on the web? Centre for Genetic Resources Fungal Biodiversity Centre (CBS) ZMA (connected to GBIF) Dutch Ass. of Zoos yes Planning to connect in the future: 4 institutes no commercial interest individual researchers not allowed by funding agencies what is the use? need more information! still discussing if we are going to do it no agreements on Intellectual Property Rights and Data Use

  14. Operating systems: Most people use Windows Database management systems: MS Access (12%) MS SQL (4%) Oracle (19%) FileMaker Pro (32%) other (42%) — TINnhm, ADLIB, Interbase, BRAHMS, Dbase, in-house developed systems Standards? Darwin Core, ABCD

  15. Are you familiar with NLBIF and GBIF? yes: 40% vague: 60% never heard about....0% Are you planning to come to this meeting?........14 people

  16. Number of participants to NLBIF-meeting 14 January 2004
