Biodiversity informatics: the challenge of linking data and the role of shared identifiers [PDF]

Briefings in Bioinformatics, 2008
A major challenge facing biodiversity informatics is integrating data stored in widely distributed databases. Initial efforts have relied on taxonomic names as the shared identifier linking records in different databases.

Biodiversity informatics: managing and applying primary biodiversity data

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2004
Recently, advances in information technology and an increased willingness to share primary biodiversity data are enabling unprecedented access to it. By combining presences of species data with electronic cartography via a number of algorithms, estimating niches of species and their areas of distribution becomes feasible at resolutions one to three ...

Unifying European Biodiversity Informatics (BioUnify) [PDF]

Research Ideas and Outcomes, 2016
In order to preserve the variety of life on Earth, we must understand it better. Biodiversity research is at a pivotal point with research projects generating data at an ever increasing rate. Structuring, aggregating, linking and processing these data in a meaningful way is a major challenge.

Biodiversity informatics: automated approaches for documenting global biodiversity patterns and processes [PDF]

Bioinformatics, 2009
Abstract Motivation: Data about biodiversity have been scattered in different formats in natural history collections, survey reports and the literature. A central challenge for the biodiversity informatics community is to provide the means to share and rapidly synthesize these data and the knowledge they provide us to build an easily ...

A decadal view of biodiversity informatics: challenges and priorities. [PDF]

BMC Ecol, 2013
Biodiversity informatics plays a central enabling role in the research community's efforts to address scientific conservation and sustainability issues. Great strides have been made in the past decade establishing a framework for sharing data, where taxonomy and systematics has been perceived as the most prominent discipline involved.
