Discovery and Publishing of Data through the GBIF Network: The State-of-the-Network & Potentials
• Status of the Publishing• Content assessment• Preparedness of the Network• Potential of the Network• Lessons learnt & future plans
Status of Data Publishing
% of increase in Data Records, Data Publishers, and Data Records are on decline
Status of Data Publishing
Developing regions are the largest data contributor
The Avian Knowledge Network is the largest single Data Publisher
Over 2700 data resources to be indexed
The DiGIR protocol is used by over 60% of Data Publishers
Data resources published by USA-based publishers receive the maximum number of search hits and return maximum data records, download events, and downloaded records
Geographical bias
Content Assessment
Regional distribution of recordsin the GBIF Index.
Content Assessment
Taxonomical bias
Content Assessment
Observation vs. Specimen
Temporal bias - Data deluge
Preparedness of the Network•Data discovery in nascent stage
•Lack of metadata catalogues
•Opportunistic nature of data publishing
•Lack of Content Needs Assessment •Unplanned data discovery and publishing activities
Preparedness of the Network•Lack of Strategy & Action Plans
•2.453 billion records identified by 27 Participants
•818 million are digital data records
•Participants committed to publish only 23% (195+ million) records by the end of 2010.
