Data Leakage and Loss in Biodiversity Informatics [PDF]

Biodiversity Data Journal, 2018
The field of biodiversity informatics is in a massive, “grow-out” phase of creating and enabling large-scale biodiversity data resources. Because perhaps 90% of existing biodiversity data nonetheless remains unavailable for science and policy ...

Data hosting infrastructure for primary biodiversity data [PDF]

BMC Bioinformatics, 2011
Background Today, an unprecedented volume of primary biodiversity data are being generated worldwide, yet significant amounts of these data have been and will continue to be lost after the conclusion of the projects tasked with collecting them.

Enriched biodiversity data as a resource and service [PDF]

Biodiversity Data Journal, 2014
Background: Recent years have seen a surge in projects that produce large volumes of structured, machine-readable biodiversity data. To make these data amenable to processing by generic, open source “data enrichment” workflows, they are increasingly being represented in a variety of standards-compliant interchange formats.

Preservation Strategies for Biodiversity Data [PDF]

Biodiversity Information Science and Standards, 2023
We are witnessing a fast proliferation of biodiversity informatics projects. The data accumulated by these initiatives often grows rapidly, even exponentially. Most of these projects start small and do not foresee the data achitecture challenges of their future.

Art as a source of historical biodiversity data. [PDF]

iScience
Art has long reflected humanity's relationship with the natural world and is increasingly recognized as a valuable source of data for reconstructing past biodiversity. Here, we synthesize evidence from prehistoric cave art, historical illustrations, and literary arts to document how artworks can be used to inform our understanding of extinct species ...

Data justice and biodiversity conservation

Conservation Biology, 2022
Abstract Increases in data availability coupled with enhanced computational capacities are revolutionizing conservation. But in the excitement over the opportunities afforded by new data, there has been less discussion of the justice implications of data used in conservation, that is, how people and environments are represented ...

The Finnish Biodiversity Information Facility as a best-practice model for biodiversity data infrastructures. [PDF]

Sci Data, 2021
Biodiversity informatics has advanced rapidly with the maturation of major biodiversity data infrastructures (BDDIs), such as the Global Biodiversity Information Facility sharing unprecedented data volumes.

Wikidata as a linked-data hub for Biodiversity data  [PDF]

Biodiversity Information Science and Standards, 2019
Wikidata (http://www.wikidata.org) is the linked database of the Wikimedia Foundation. Like its sister project Wikipedia it is open to humans and machines. Initially primarily intended as a central repository of structured data for the approximately 200 language versions of Wikipedia, Wikidata currently also serves many other use cases.

Overcoming the Data Crisis in Biodiversity Conservation [PDF]

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2018
How can we track population trends when monitoring data are sparse? Population declines can go undetected, despite ongoing threats. For example, only one of every 200 harvested species are monitored. This gap leads to uncertainty about the seriousness of declines and hampers effective conservation.

Biodiversity data integration-the significance of data resolution and domain. [PDF]

PLoS Biol, 2019
Recent years have seen an explosion in the availability of biodiversity data describing the distribution, function, and evolutionary history of life on earth. Integrating these heterogeneous data remains a challenge due to large variations in observational scales, collection purposes, and terminologies.
