1 Opening the Biodiversity Data in Finland ~ What? Why? How? Hanna Koivula Hanna Koivula/ IT-team
2 What? Biodiversity data is information about... Species and their classification Occurrence (distribution and abundancy) Species characteristics Behaviour Impact on the environmet (and vice versa)
3 What? Dimensions of Biodiversity data are... Nomenclature and taxonomy Locality information Administrative qualities (red-list status, protection, game species, invasive and alien species, pests) Observers (identity and expertise) References (collections, literature, archives) Documentation (specimen, illustrations, photographs, videos, recordings)
4 What? Biodiversity data in Finland Data is produced and used by several organizations Individual researchers, research groups & museums Govermental, non-governmental organisations SMEs No incommon format Demand for species data is increasing due to: Conservation issues, monitoring of envirnmental conditions, land use governance, economical-technical development, education & research International agreements and initiatives: CBD, IPBES, INSPIRE, Natura, Ramsar, EuroBats
5 What? Open Finnish Museum of Natural History: Collections database KOTKA Kastikka-plant atlas (1965-) Bird Ringing Data Fieldjournal Observations (2005-) In addition smaller digital datasets (in all possible formats) Non Digitized cards and collections! (~10 milj. specimen) Silent knowledge of soon to be retired museum staff Hanna Koivula / ICT-team
6 What? Other data sources in finland Collections of other museums in Finland Data from research projects BirdLife Finland (Tiira) Insect database (maintained by hobbyists) Environmental institute SYKE Metsähallitus Natural heritage Metla Forest research institute Game and fisheries institute
7 Why? Legal framework OECD Principles and Guidelines for Access to Research Data from Public Funding (2007) => publicly funded data should be made publicly available PSI directive Re-use of Public Sector Information (EU Directive 2003/98/EF) => Enhancing economical activity with open data INSPIRE (Directive 2007/2/EC) Infrastructure for Spatial Information in the European Community Local laws and restrictions
8 Why? Data policy Finnish Partnership for Research on Natural Resources (LYNET Consortium) Aims of the policy: give data openly available as soon as possible after the first use give data to a wider and more efficient use increase the co-operation and collaboration between producers and re-users of data Some individual records can be resticted: Rerearch- and Survey data 5 years ( embago time) IUCN red-listed species Conservation reasons: nesting- and over wintering sites Only a small proportion (less than 1%) of all observations 8
9 How? challenges Data lives in siloes Collection specimen Literature Observation- and research data Collecting, harmonising and maintaining for different purposes => fitness-for-use Managing taxonomy Managing locality information
10 How? General solutions Participating to international data sharing networks GBIF (data sharing) LifeWatch (analyses tools) Using standards whenever possible Biodiversity Standards TDWG Master Data Management Exposing the errors in the data to be found by: Peer-rewiew crowdsoursing
11 How? Finnish Biodiversity Information Facility - FinBIF Cross-administrative, 20 organisations (incl. NGOs) Virtual organization relying on existing ICT infrastructures Enables dicovering, presenting and analysing existing biodiversity data from multiple sources in one portal Using standards via different networks INSPIRE GBIF, LifeWatch, LTER
12 Examples from other countries Biological Records Center (UK) National Biodiversity Data Centre (Ireland) Artdatabanken (Sweden) Artsdatabanken (Norway) Atlas of Living Australia
13 Examples & results Theme portals: Invasive species, species pages Improved discoverability allows research on: Invasive alien species, Climate change, Conservation, Food and farming, Human health, Species distributions Open APIs allow organizations and SMEs to create: Information products
