2 Biodiversity Action Plan (Executive Yuan, 2001) D1201 Establishing biodiversity data exchange mechanisms as well as establishing and integrating related databases of government agencies and institutions; and periodically adding contents (National Science Council/Council of Agriculture, Academia Sinica, Ministry of the Interior, Ministry of Economic Affairs, Council of Indigenous Peoples, Department of Health, Ministry of Education, Environmental Protaction Administration, Ministry of Transportation and Communications.) D1301 Establishing national germplasm banks; conducting research, conservation and utilization on agriculture, forestry, fishery, animal husbandry, wild life, and micro organism genetic resources (Council of Agriculture/National Science Council, Academia Sinica, Ministry of Education, and Ministry of Economic Affairs.)
3 Milestone/Projects since ~2006 National Digital Archives Program (NDAP) 2007~2012 (TELDAP) by NSC 2001, Taiwan joined GBIF: Associate Participant 2002~2004 Catalog of Life Project of Taiwan (TaiBNET) by NSC ~ Established biodiversity portal (TaiBIF) of GBIF by NSC & COA 2008 TaiBIF merged with TELDAP 3
4 Species (scientific name) is the primary key (linker) to integrate all databases Scientific name is the only common field among different content in all biological databases. The unique key for global biological resources linking. (unique identifier, primary key) Search engine (( 物 種 名 錄 ), ), COL No way to search data in different databases without scientific name.

41 Encyclopedia of Life: EOL An international organization aiming to make freely available to anyone knowledge about all the world s organisms. Its website currently holds info on 1 million species. Realizing the dream of E. O. Wilson, Father of Biodiversity, i.e. to provide one-stop access to all relevant info of a species. Satisfying diverse needs of multiple users.

56 Request government agencies to set up timeline to complete the following tasks step by step: (1) Various government agencies, when signing execution agreements on biodiversity investigation-related work, should add a term demanding the surrender of digitized raw data after a project ends. (2) As to how long the data should remain open to the public; what the exchange platform and mechanism for data storage and maintenance should be; and how to divide and integrate the work and to share data; ; they can all be discussed and decided later on. 要 求 各 部 會 能 訂 定 期 程 逐 步 完 成 下 列 工 作 : (1) 政 府 各 機 構 在 各 類 與 生 物 多 樣 性 調 查 相 關 之 計 畫 執 行 同 意 書 中, 加 入 於 計 畫 結 束 後 應 繳 交 原 始 資 料 數 位 檔 的 條 款 (2) 至 於 資 料 應 公 開 之 期 限 交 換 平 台 交 換 機 制 資 料 之 倉 儲 及 維 護, 以 及 各 部 會 內 如 何 分 工 整 合 及 共 享 資 料 等, 均 可 再 作 進 一 步 之 研 議
57 Proposal for adding the following items to NSC project contracts In the case of biodiversity survey-related projects (field collection, observation, sampling questionnaire), Party B should upload, in accordance with the agreed formats, the temporal and spatial distribution raw data which include survey methodology, field definition and monitoring data, as well as License Agreement to the data management unit (data backup) commissioned by Party A.
