EU Nodes – March 2013 –Joensuu
BioFresh rationale
Freshwater biodiversity information hub
– Thematic GBIF node / Freshwater SCAR-MarBIN/OBIS
Main components of the “BioFresh-platform”
– Data portal comprising metadatabase and occurrence
database
– Global Freshwater Biodiversity Atlas
– Resources and research outputs, blog,…

EU Nodes – March 2013 –Joensuu
BioFresh metadatabase
http://data.freshwaterbiodiversity.eu/
Tailored for freshwater data
Pro-active mobilisation of metadata
Export to EML
– E.g. for use when uploading data through IPT
Exchange with other initiatives planned
– EnvEurope - LTER
– GBIF

BioFresh occurrence database
Data model
– Set off with GBIF data (due to project design)
– <-> Hosting own data first (cfr. Canadensys)
Data sources
– ‘BioFresh’ data through BioFresh IPT (digitised data, partner
data,…)
– Freshwater datasets shared with GBIF: if possible direct
harvesting from source IPT
– ‘Mixed’ datasets: harvested through web services based on
a list of freshwater species names (FADA)
–…

BioFresh Information Platform
Bring freshwater biodiversity data together in a network of
interoperable databases and make these (meta)data public
– Primary biodiversity data / species occurrences
(data available through GBIF and mobilised by BioFresh,
which are to be exchanged with GBIF)
– Implies use and promotion of GBIF tools such as
Integrated Publishing Toolkit (IPT) and possibly the
Harvesting and Indexing Toolkit (HIT)
– Topical freshwater GBIF node

- Climate Vulnerability Index
- Comparative biodiversity trend analysis
- Invasive species spread
- Response signatures
- AquaMaps

BioFresh and GBIF
Establish Memorandum of Collaboration with GBIF secretariat
– Promote GBIF informatics processes and tools
– Promote incentive mechanisms (data paper, data citation…)
– Demand-driven data discovery
Engage with (EU) GBIF participant nodes
– Possibility to jointly mobilize data and publication
through GBIF country nodes
– Explore possibilities of joint freshwater theme for data
mobilization activities
– Possibility for joint workshops to encourage institutional
data providers to set up and publish data through an IPT
