abstract |
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. The systematic application of information management and
engineering technologies in the study of biodiversity (biodiversity informatics) help
transform data to knowledge. However, concerted action is required to be taken by
existing e-infrastructures to develop and adopt common standards, provisions for interoperability
and avoid overlapping in functionality. This would result in the unification of the
currently fragmented landscape that restricts European biodiversity research from
reaching its full potential.
The overarching goal of this COST Action is to coordinate existing research and capacity
building efforts, through a bottom-up trans-disciplinary approach, by unifying biodiversity
informatics communities across Europe in order to support the long-term vision of
modelling biodiversity on earth.
BioUnify will:
1. specify technical requirements, evaluate and improve models for efficient data
and workflow storage, sharing and re-use, within and between different biodiversity
communities;
2. mobilise taxonomic, ecological, genomic and biomonitoring data generated and curated
by natural history collections, research networks and remote sensing sources in Europe;
3. leverage results of ongoing biodiversity informatics projects by identifying and
developing functional synergies on individual, group and project level;
4. raise technical awareness and transfer skills between biodiversity researchers
and information technologists;
5. formulate a viable roadmap for achieving the long-term goals for European biodiversity
informatics, which ensures alignment with global activities and translates into efficient
biodiversity policy. |
