Dear Tony, Thank you for your mail, intro and information about your role in BIOPAMA. As you are taking part in the Pacific workshop you will also be hearing from my colleague Laura Russel coordinating the training from GBIF Secretariat. We look forward to collaborating accordingly in the area of Invasive species.

I'm responsible for coordinating the EU funded BIOPAMA (Biodiversity and Protected Areas Management) project in the Pacific region. Phase one of the project occurred between 2013 and 2016 and is now due to commence a second phase from 2017 to 2023. Two main aims of the BIOPAMA project are closely linked to the GBIF BID project and are: * Working directly with countries to develop and improve baseline information inventories, including maps, that guide planning, designating and managing protected areas and enable more accurate reporting * Providing a secure, on-line portal (Pacific Islands Protected Areas Portal, PIPAP) that national services, partners and stakeholders can freely use to store, view and interpret information about protected areas, biodiversity values, marine and terrestrial ecosystems, species (including IAS) and habitats, pressures and threats, and management and governance The BIOPAMA project has supported the development of an Island (Pacific)Biodiversity Invasive Species database. This information now needs to be effectively mobilised through appropriate channels, including the PIPAP, and the GBIF BID provides an ideal mechanism to facilitate this process. In addition, the opportunity to engage with country focal points through the GBIF BID project will enable another practical activity to help build momentum with country focal points for improved biodiversity information.

Introduction - Marcia Creary Ford
by FORD,Marcia 12 Jun '17

12 Jun '17

Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Marcia Creary Ford, Environmental Data Manager at the Caribbean Coastal Data Centre based at the Univerity of the West Indies -Centre for Marine Sciences. I am a marine biologist by training with over 30 years' experience collecting various types of data, including biodiversity data. I have presented at conferences and written many technical reports on data collected during the course of my work. As manager of the Caribbean Coastal Data Centre (CCDC), I believe that there is a great need for an organization that can make available coastal and marine biodiversity data and information to various stakeholders (such as government agencies, private consultants, and non-governmental organizations) both locally and regionally. Also, in light of the rapid growth and development taking place within the Jamaican coastal zone, data in support of Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) and policy decisions are critical to ensuring that sustainable development becomes a reality. The involvement of the CCDC in the Capacity Building for Biodiversity Data Sharing through the Caribbean Coastal Data Centre, Jamaica project is critical at this time and presents an opportunity for the CCDC and the UWI-CMS to adapt to the changing global environment by making biodiversity data more readily available to those who need it. The project will support the vision of establishing the CCDC as a local, regional and international focal point for data and information on the Jamaican and Caribbean coastal and marine environment. I am looking forward to participating in and benefiting from the BID Capacity Enhancement Workshop. Regards Marcia Marcia Creary Ford, MPhil Environmental Data Manager Caribbean Coastal Data Centre Centre for Marine Sciences UWI, Mona Campus Kingston 7, Jamaica WI Work: 876 935 8444, Cell: 876 376 1006

by Motz, Gary 12 Jun '17

12 Jun '17

Hi all, The iDigBio Data Management Interest Group is pleased to bring you the fifth installment of our DarwinCore (DwC) Hour webinar series. TOMORROW’s webinar is almost here: DwC Standards in Practice: Introduction to Sharing Data Using the GBIF IPT. Go Here for Webinar Details and Meeting Link: https://www.idigbio.org/content/darwin-core-hour-dwc-standards-practice-int… <https://www.idigbio.org/content/darwin-core-hour-dwc-standards-practice-int…> ABSTRACT. This webinar introduces the GBIF IPT, the most widely used tool to publish and share biodiversity data through the GBIF network. Demonstrating how to publish a species occurrence dataset, special emphasis will be given to how to properly map fields to DwC terms while complying with vocabularies and making sure to satisfy GBIF’s required and recommended terms. It will end with a brief look at the tool’s roadmap, with some essential information all IPT administrators need to be made aware of. Please bring or submit questions for open discussions in each webinar: https://tinyurl.com/zja2muz <https://tinyurl.com/zja2muz> When: Tuesday, June 13th, 10 AM EDT, 9AM CDT, 4 PM CEST Where: https://idigbio.adobeconnect.com/room <https://idigbio.adobeconnect.com/room> Presenters: Kyle Braak - IPT Product Manager for GBIF, Laura Russell - Program Officer for Participation and Engagement at GBIF, Carole Sinou - Research Officer in Biodiversity for Canadensys. Moderators: Gary Motz, Erica Krimmel EXTRAS: Explore the Darwin Core Questions & Answers wiki! https://github.com/tdwg/dwc-qa/wiki <https://github.com/tdwg/dwc-qa/wiki> - where all DwC Hour materials can be found. See which of your questions have been asked and answered so far https://github.com/tdwg/dwc-qa/issues <https://github.com/tdwg/dwc-qa/issues> Submit your question / volunteer (yourself or someone) to do a webinar on your DwC topic: https://tinyurl.com/zja2muz <https://tinyurl.com/zja2muz> Here's a list of terms for which DwC recommends use of a controlled vocabulary - note many are in the Location class. https://github.com/tdwg/dwc-qa/wiki/Controlled-Vocabularies <https://github.com/tdwg/dwc-qa/wiki/Controlled-Vocabularies> See what's inside some of the DwC fields that suggest using a controlled vocabulary (data from GBIF, iDigBio, VertNet, and soon ALA): https://github.com/tdwg/dwc-qa/tree/master/data <https://github.com/tdwg/dwc-qa/tree/master/data> Future DwC Hour webinars coming up feature discussions about Darwin Core locality terms and sharing georeferenced locality data, and aggregators sharing how they process data provided by the community. See you soon! Gary, et al. from the iDigBio Data Mgmt Interest Group and the Darwin Core Hour Team (please kindly excuse cross-postings!) Webinar series brought to you by the iDigBio Data Management Interest Group (DMI). We welcome input for this series from everyone worldwide. We plan to make this happen 1x month.
