Biodiversity 101

Along the path to the holy grail(s) of biodiversity informatics

Matt Yoder & José Luis Pereira, 2019

This talk online.

Overview

A 10 minute exercise in collaborative brainstorming, with all the juicy bits added to Path. In real time?!

Concept

Holy grails

Landmarks on the path

Holy grails

Concept

I'll present a couple examples and point to talks that might cover them. You offer a couple more. We repeat the exercise for 3 concepts/sections:

Local (1-3): you are biodiversity newbie, your interactions rarely make it beyond your computer

Regional (4-6): that web has GOOD STUFF on it, you interact with labmates near and far

Global (7-9): heavy stuff that may have global implications, you're not keeping track of everything you've touched, but someone is

Meta

Git

Github pages

Github,Gitlab

HTML presentations

Structured data

Level X - Proposed

One or two ideas from the author about what might fit here. Somewhat more serious than those in Path

An idea that doesn't require you to "code"

A pointer to a presentation at BiodiversityNext

An idea that requires you to "code"

IRL hint - the two are hopefully not mutually exclusive.

Level X - Brainstormed

Built together, with you!

An idea that doesn't require you to "code"

A pointer to a presentation at BiodiversityNext

An idea that refers to "code"

Grails - Proposed

Articulate why biodiversity matters to policy makers

SP17 - Science Powered by Informatics – Connecting Policy Needs with Data Driven Science

Integrate taxonomist's "phenotypes" with genomicist's genotypes

Paula Mabee on Semantic Traits

Grails - Brainstormed

Building capacity

AI measurements of specimen images

Symposia suggestions?

Local waypoints - Proposed

Help to recruit and organize volunteers for your Natural History Collection

Help?!

Participate in a Software Carpentry workshop - learn Git

Michonneau - Carpentries,Boyko - Training

Local waypoints - Brainstormed

Researcher engagement with datamagement

What a CSV file is?

Symposia suggestions?

Regional waypoints - Proposed

Write help documentation for your favourite biodiversity application

Villaverde et al.

Wrap your research in a Jupyter Notebook and share it.

Build a web application that serves researchers in a simple, novel way, e.g. Phylopic.

Regional waypoints - Brainstormed
