Four work programmes: Outreach and Capacity
Building – OCB Data Access and
Database Interoperability – DADI
Digitisation of Natural History Collections - DIGIT
Electronic Catalogue of Names of Known Organisms - ECAT
¿¿¿Global Biodiversity Information Facility???
A megascience facility aimed at
Making the world’s biodiversity data freely and universally available via the Internet
Sharing primary scientific biodiversity data to benefit society, science and a sustainable future
Global Biodiversity Information Facility
ZooBank – 18/12-05
Current statuses
Participants- 47 countries- 31 international organisations
149 data providers serving data from 517 collections
>73 mill. specimen and observation records
>500.000 species records (>1 mill. names) from the Species 2000 and ITIS Catalogue of Life- Large number of unregulated names from labels- Plans for tool to directly serve taxonomy data to
GBIF

ZooBank and GBIF
How can we collaborate and enhance taxonomy?

Globally Unique IDentifiers - GUIDs
GUIDs GBIF and TDWG are setting out to form community around GUIDs for Biodiversity data
Workshop in early February to explore infrastructure
Possibly - Life Science IDentifiers (LSID)- Digital Object Identifiers (doi)

Potential model:Life Science Identifiers (LSIDs)
Format
urn:lsid:<domainName>:<namespace>:<objectId>[:<revisionId>]
Potential example: referencing specimen record in GBIF Network (identifiers assigned centrally)
urn:lsid:gbif.net:Specimen:2706712
Potential example: name record from IPNI
urn:lsid:ipni.org:TaxonName:82090-3:1.1

Heightening availability of ZooBank data through GBIF portal
New entries can be immediately available on GBIF portal and network

Linking Specimens to ZooBank Entries
Specimens associated with ZooBank entries can be referenced through the GBIF network and GUIDs
Unique reference to specimen not at the moment a requirement for nomenclatural event but with the infrastructure available, who knows?
Could be a requirement for publication that e.g. specimens examined for a monography be GUID’d

Enabling retrospective registration via ECAT providers
Nomenclatural assessment in GBIF providers – especially GSDs – could be moderated into ZooBank as a way of retrospectively filling the register

GBIF network provides a route into species pages/species bank projects for ZooBank entries

ZooBank in the big picture
ZooBank lookup and depositing should be incorporated in web-enabled taxonomy interfaces and applications
Registration of zoological names becomes a natural and obvious part of the taxonomical process, not an added complication
