Open data publication: Opportunities for invasive alien species data

Talk at the "Data for invasive species research, policy making and management" workshop for the COST action Alien Challenge in Brussels, Belgium - February 16, 2015.

Introduction to the tools and standards already available in the biodiversity informatics community, to spark a discussion on how to extend those for invasive alien species data.

8. Benefits to users are well known Free access Open license Machine readable Open format
9. But owners/publishers benefit as well
10. Discoverability
11. Credit
12. Feedback / correc.ons
13. Collabora.ons / novel use
14. Benefits to the community at large
15. Reproducible science
16. Big science
17. Educa.on

19. With good, free, and collabora.ve technical support
20. Standards are available
21. Repositories are available
22. Publishing tools are available
23. Open source
24. h;p://giphy.com/gifs/statements-ChzfTLSi47FYc Woah!
25. How would this work for invasive alien species data?
26. Your data
27. Your data ≠ my data
28. We need standards to share and understand biodiversity data
30. Darwin Core a community-developed standard for publishing biodiversity data
31. Darwin Core terms
32. Darwin Core Archive
33. .zip file
34. Data + metadata
35. Delimited text file
37. 3 types of Darwin Core Archives
38. Occurrence dataset
39. Sampling event dataset
40. Checklist dataset
41. We need tools to easily publish biodiversity data
42. Integrated Publishing Toolkit (IPT)
43. Data + mapping + metadata
44. Metadata editor
45. Published dataset
46. How can people discover your dataset(s)?
47. Global Biodiversity Informa.on Facility (GBIF)
48. Register your dataset
49. Your data can be discovered
50. Your data can be combined
51. Your data can be used
52. Your data can be built upon
53. A word about licenses
54. Fric.onless open data vs Credit
55. Credit is a community issue
56. Credit is a technical issue
57. Credit is a not a legal issue
58. Standard licenses are needed
59. Crea.ve Commons Zero (CC0)
60. CC0 for scien.fic data
61. CC0 for biodiversity data
62. Back to invasive alien species data
63. Darwin Core and GBIF are build for generic biodiversity data
64. Darwin Core and GBIF can work for invasive alien species data
65. Task of this community
66. Task of this community is to use the common parts
67. Task of this community is to use the common parts, and build the specific parts.
68. Reuse
69. Reuse
