The European Ocean Biodiversity Information System (EurOBIS) was established in 2004, as part of the Marine and Ecosystem Functioning Union Network Excellence (MarBEF) project. One key project tasks to integrate different resources on marine biodiversity. This gave birth EurOBIS, a data system capture, present distribution species from individual datasets. Integration consolidation aimed provide better understanding long-term, large-scale patterns waters. first biogeographic went live August...
EMODnet Biology (hosted and coordinated by the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ)) is one of seven themes within European Observation Data network (EMODnet). The consortium aims to facilitate accessibility usage marine biodiversity data. With principle "collect once, use many times" at its core, fosters collaboration across various sectors, including research, policy-making, industry, individual citizens, enhance knowledge sharing inform decision-making. focuses on providing free open access...
Historical biodiversity documents comprise an important link to the long-term data life cycle and provide useful insights on several aspects of research management. However, because their historical context, they present specific challenges, primarily time- effort-consuming in curation. The rescue process requires a multidisciplinary effort involving four tasks: (a) Document digitisation (b) Transcription, which involves text recognition correction, (c) Information Extraction, is performed...
Over the last decade, plankton research has experienced extensive developments in automatic image acquisition for identifying and quantifying species. This information is useful reporting of occurrences ecological data. Imagery instruments can vary way they sample (benchtop or situ imagers) particle’s size range target (see Lombard et al. (2019) an comparison specifications). However, due to wide variety their (automatic) output data formats, it challenging integrate datasets that originate...
The Ocean Biodiversity Information System (OBIS) (Klein et al. 2019) is a global database of marine biodiversity and associated environmental data, which provides critical information to researchers policymakers worldwide. Ensuring the accuracy consistency data in OBIS essential for its usefulness value, not only scientific community but also science-policy interface. Data Quality Assessment Enhancement Project Team (QCPT), formed 2019 by steering group, aims assess enhance quality. It has...
The rise in demand for more FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) data is being answered by increasingly automated ways to capture, process, publish register biodiversity datasets. Coupled with the increasing possibilities detecting hundreds of species a single sample/event (i.e., eDNA), this results taxonomic information that multiple levels magnitude higher than it was couple years ago. This spike content has an adverse effect on ability researchers find relevant...
