  1. GBIF and GPSC Vishwas Chavan Senior Program Officer, DIGIT vchavan@gbif.org

  2. GBIF Mission … to make the world’s biodiversity data freely and universally available via the Internet What is biodiversity? • GBIF follows the broadly outlined CBD recognition of levels of biological diversity: • Molecules / genes • Species • Ecosystems / ecology

  3. 4 Themes Informatics Content Participation Campaigns Digitisation and Mobilisation of Primary Biodiversity Data (DIGIT) Electronic catalogue of names of known organisms (ECAT) Outreach and capacity building (OCB) Building regional and local infrastructure (NODES) Inventory, Discovery, Access (IDA) GBIF has six main areas of work GBIF Secretariat, Universitetsparken 15, DK-2100 Copenhagen Ø TRAINING

  4. Biodiversity conservation need easy access to (digitised) data 150 million records GBIF is currently serving 160 million species occurrence records....

  5. 1 degree cell with occurrences > 10

  6. 1 degree cells with occurrences > 100

  7. 1 degree cells with occurrences >1000

  8. 1 degree cells with occurrences > 10000

  9. 1 degree cells with occurrences > 100000 1 X 1 degree cell mean approx. 111 X 111 Km

  10. Many specimens remain to have their data digitized • Many records are already digital... • … but are not yet being shared Growth rate actually needed – Billion Record goal

  11. DIGIT: Digitisation and Mobilisation of Primary Biodiversity Data

  12. Observations / Monitoring Biological Collections Primary Biodiversity Data N A M E S Other data types Multimedia Resources Increased digitisation and mobilisation and access to “fit-for-use” primary biodiversity data through GBIF network

  13. GASP for mobilising pollinators related Natural History Data Moving beyond Specimen based Data  GPSC Observational Data and Multimedia Resources repositories Long Term Data Management  GPSC Data Rescue Centres Collation and Dissemination of multilingual data Pollinator specific exchange schemas! GPSC: Issues and Challenges!

  14. Global partnership or Regional initiative? Resources Discovery to Data Mobilisation: Challenge? – Incentives to data contributors! Improving “fitness for use” for multiple purposes – Relevance to Global to Local issues Synergy between GPSC and other initiatives Aggregator to Mentor to similar initiatives Plans for sustainable future of GPSC beyond funding phase GPSC: Issues and Challenges!
