What is Biodiversity?01:19

What is Biodiversity?

Biodiversity describes the variety of living things at multiple organizational levels: genetic, species and ecosystem diversity. Species diversity includes all branches of the evolutionary tree from single-celled prokaryotic organisms, bacteria, and archaea, to the eukaryotic kingdoms: plants; animals; fungi; and protists. To date, there have been about 1.75 million species identified, and new species are discovered every week.
Biodiversity and Human Values01:24

Biodiversity and Human Values

Human civilization relies on biodiversity in many ways. Sudden changes in species biodiversity result in environmental changes that can modify weather patterns and therefore human civilizations.
Threats to Biodiversity01:50

Threats to Biodiversity

There have been five major extinction events throughout geological history, resulting in the elimination of biodiversity, followed by a rebound of species that adapted to the new conditions. In the current geological epoch, the Holocene, there is a sixth extinction event in progress. This mass extinction has been attributed to human activities and is thus provisionally called the Anthropocene. In 2019 the human population reached 7.7 billion people and is projected to comprise 10 billion by...

Nursing Clinical Information System

Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS)
A Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS) is a specialized type of healthcare information system tailored to meet the unique needs of nursing practice. It incorporates the principles of nursing informatics to streamline information management and improve the quality of care delivery.
Critical attributes of NCIS include:
Levels of Use of a GIS01:29

Levels of Use of a GIS

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) operate across three levels of application, each representing an increasing degree of complexity: data management, analysis, and prediction. These levels reflect the expanding functionality and versatility of GIS technology in handling spatial data for diverse purposes.Data ManagementAt its foundational level, GIS serves as a tool for data management, enabling the input, storage, retrieval, and organization of spatial data. This level is often employed in...

Area of Science:

  • Biodiversity Informatics
  • Computational Biology
  • Data Science

Background:

  • Scientific workflows in biodiversity sciences are hindered by difficulties in integrating data from diverse sources, software, and services.
  • The Biodiversity Information Standards (TDWG) organization has long provided standards for interoperability, forming the basis of many biodiversity informatics tools.
  • Despite TDWG's foundational role, scientists struggle with the complexity, lack of documentation, and varied technologies of these standards.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the complexity of biodiversity data standards and improve the usability of biodiversity informatics tools.
  • To enhance virtual biodiversity working platforms by creating software interfaces that facilitate seamless information flow.
  • To contribute to the development of a user-oriented, international, and interoperable biodiversity information infrastructure.

Main Methods:

  • Development of software interfaces to connect virtual biodiversity working platforms.
  • Implementation of mechanisms for comprehensive data exchange, indexing, and web-publication.
  • Focus on shielding users from the technical complexities of underlying biodiversity data standards.

Main Results:

  • Virtual biodiversity platforms are being enhanced to act as information brokers, mediating between multiple data standards.
  • Improved information flow between platforms will facilitate data exchange, indexing, web-publication, and versioning.
  • The ViBRANT project strengthens the flexibility and power of these virtual working environments.

Conclusions:

  • The ViBRANT project's interfaces will significantly improve the integration capabilities of virtual biodiversity platforms.
  • This work advances the creation of a more accessible and powerful international biodiversity information infrastructure.
  • By simplifying data standards, the project empowers scientists to better utilize biodiversity data for analysis, visualization, and publication.
