Hi all,</div>
<div><i><font face="Calibri,sans-serif" style="font-size: 12px;">Sent to the GBIF API users and EU BON lists for information – sorry if you receive this more than once</font></i></div>

<div><br>
</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;">I’m happy to let you all know that we recently opened access to a<u> very early version</u> of work which is underway on a new GBIF.org site.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;">It has limited functionality today, but we’ve tackled the most challenging issue which is cross content search. We’re also working on making a consistent search experience across the various content types GBIF deal with.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;">Some examples:</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;"> - Gallery of images associated occurrences in a search result: <a href="http://demo.gbif.org/occurrence/gallery?taxon_key=5190137">http://demo.gbif.org/occurrence/gallery?taxon_key=5190137</a></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;"> - Cross content search: <a href="http://demo.gbif.org/search?q=argentina">http://demo.gbif.org/search?q=argentina</a></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;"> - Improved faceted search of occurrences: <a href="http://demo.gbif.org/occurrence/search?month=5&taxon_key=3026341">http://demo.gbif.org/occurrence/search?month=5&taxon_key=3026341</a> </div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;"> - Consistent search of species: <a href="http://demo.gbif.org/species/search?q=flabellina">http://demo.gbif.org/species/search?q=flabellina</a></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;"><i> - </i>Revision to the general news details visuals: <a href="http://demo.gbif.org/data-use/newsroom/uses/2015-feuda-et-al">http://demo.gbif.org/data-use/newsroom/uses/2015-feuda-et-al</a> </div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;"> - Revised occurrence detail pages: <a href="http://demo.gbif.org/occurrence/1233599085">http://demo.gbif.org/occurrence/1233599085</a></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;"> - Work <u>in progress</u> on dataset detail pages: <a href="http://demo.gbif.org/dataset/7bd65a7a-f762-11e1-a439-00145eb45e9a">http://demo.gbif.org/dataset/7bd65a7a-f762-11e1-a439-00145eb45e9a</a></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;"> - A homepage which is yet-to-be designed, but with a simple search:
<a href="http://demo.gbif.org">http://demo.gbif.org</a> </div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;">The menu structure is provisional now, <u>as is the majority of the styling</u> (much of which needs revision) but I hope this helps give a sense of the direction. We aim to have this near completion by the end of 2016.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;">There are several pages that have begun but are not ready yet, including the species detail page, and the country / participant pages.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;">There will also be a revision to maps to include (just demos with example styling here):</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px;"> <a href="http://api.gbif-uat.org/v2/map/demo1.html">http://api.gbif-uat.org/v2/map/demo1.html</a> (pixel maps)</div>

All of this work in the mapping API is to set GBIF up to implement the species trends for all species (currently demo’ed for Lepidoptera only):</div>

<span id="OLK_SRC_BODY_SECTION" style="font-size: 14px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
<div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 14px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
<div><i>[Maps are the only /v2 API change, and we’ll shortly document the changes and will also continue to support /v1 maps in the API. v2 maps have all basisOfRecord, multiple projections, year resolution, and hexagon binning and will be available as PNGs
and as Mapbox Vector Tile format]</i></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Once those developments are included in a forthcoming release we’ll enable the feedback functions and then iterate over the developments releasing regularly with updates.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The work is on GitHub [1], and primarily developed in Node with AngluarJS using the GBIF APIs. We will be deploying all of this on HTTPS and are exploring HTTP2 now to increase performance.</div>
