10. Knowledge
11. Access protocols Standards Use agreements how can we assemble the data?
12. How can we enhance the data?
13. How can we build tools and improve our research?
14. How can we create more data?
15. Today
16. Novel workflows, open formats, open source New tools and workflows to support research
22. • Proprietary ESRI software • Transformation of data before analysis • No way to reconstruct the analysis after it has been done
23. Red list assessments are dominated by Mammals, Amphibians, Birds, Corals This is where we are now,
24. declining population small population size restricted geographic range Focus on geospatial components of the IUCN process Can we improve the workflow?
25. *controversial Area of Occurrence - AOO Extent of Occurrence - EOO Geospatial components* of the IUCN process
26. EOO is a measure of the geographic range size of a species AOO is a measure of the area in which a species occurs
27. How can we make the workflow better, increase the amount of assessments being done, and work to improve the methods?
28. GeoCAT - Rapid species level risk assessments Kew Gardens, IUCN, ViBRANT, Vizzuality
29. GeoCAT - Rapid species level risk assessments Open source, easy to use platform Tailored to AOO, EOO methods or occurrence data Only softward needed is a web-browser

34. A file specification to store state and outputs
35. A file specification to return to and update assessments
36. Download Data
37. A file specification to record + replay workflow
38. A file specification to annotate decisions
39. The .geocat file format encouranging replicability and transparency
40. And maybe something more
43. Public analysis library Metadata storage Online portal
44. Guralnick & Hill, 2009
47. Scaling digitization efforts using new techniques How can we assemble more data? Quickly?
