Ocean Biodiversity Information System

OBIS

Subject(s)
Content type(s)
Country
OBIS strives to document the ocean's diversity, distribution and abundance of life. Created by the Census of Marine Life, OBIS is now part of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) of UNESCO, under its International Oceanographic Data and Information Exchange (IODE) programme

Genomic Observatories MetaDatabase

GEOME

Subject(s)
Content type(s)
Country
The Genomic Observatories Meta-Database (GEOME) is a web-based database that captures the who, what, where, and when of biological samples and associated genetic sequences. GEOME helps users with the following goals: ensure the metadata from your biological samples is findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable; improve the quality of your data and comply with global data standards; and integrate with R, ease publication to NCBI's sequence read archive, and work with an associated LIMS. The initial use case for GEOME came from the Diversity of the Indo-Pacific Network (DIPnet) resource.

VertNet

VertNet is a NSF-funded collaborative project that makes biodiversity data free and available on the web. VertNet is a tool designed to help people discover, capture, and publish biodiversity data. It is also the core of a collaboration between hundreds of biocollections that contribute biodiversity data and work together to improve it. VertNet is an engine for training current and future professionals to use and build upon best practices in data quality, curation, research, and data publishing. Yet, VertNet is still the aggregate of all of the information that it mobilizes. To us, VertNet is all of these things and more.

Canadensys repository

Database of Vascular Plants of Canada

Country
Biological collections are replete with taxonomic, geographic, temporal, numerical, and historical information. This information is crucial for understanding and properly managing biodiversity and ecosystems, but is often difficult to access. Canadensys, operated from the Université de Montréal Biodiversity Centre, is a Canada-wide effort to unlock the biodiversity information held in biological collections.

Freshwater Biodiversity Data Portal

BIOFRESH

Subject(s)

The aim of the Freshwater Biodiversity Data Portal is to integrate and provide open and free access to freshwater biodiversity data from all possible sources. To this end, we offer tools and support for scientists interested in documenting/advertising their dataset in the metadatabase, in submitting or publishing their primary biodiversity data (i.e. species occurrence records) or having their dataset linked to the Freshwater Biodiversity Data Portal. This information portal serves as a data discovery tool, and allows scientists and managers to complement, integrate, and analyse distribution data to elucidate patterns in freshwater biodiversity. The Freshwater Biodiversity Data Portal was initiated under the EU FP7 BioFresh project and continued through the Freshwater Information Platform (http://www.freshwaterplatform.eu). To ensure the broad availability of biodiversity data and integration in the global GBIF index, we strongly encourages scientists to submit any primary biodiversity data published in a scientific paper to national nodes of GBIF or to thematic initiatives such as the Freshwater Biodiversity Data Portal.

FinBIF is an integral part of the global biodiversity informatics framework, dedicated to managing species information. Its mission encompasses a wide array of services, including the generation of digital data through various processes, as well as the sourcing, collation, integration, and distribution of existing digital data. Key initiatives under FinBIF include the digitization of collections, the development of data systems for collections Kotka (https://biss.pensoft.net/article/37179/) and observations (https://biss.pensoft.net/article/39150/), and the establishment of a national DNA barcode reference library. FinBIF manages data types such as verbal species descriptions (which include drawings, pictures, and other media types), biological taxonomy, scientific collection specimens, opportunistic systematic and event-based observations, and DNA barcodes. It employs a unified IT architecture to manage data flows, delivers services through a single online portal, fosters collaboration under a cohesive umbrella concept, and articulates development visions under a unified brand. The portal Laji.fi serves as the entry point to this harmonized open data ecosystem. FinBIF's portal is accessible in Finnish, Swedish, and English. Data intended for restricted use are made available to authorities through a separate portal, while open data are also shared with international systems, such as GBIF.
