This year’s project continues with the collection of data by the common ecological format as well as (1) incorporates more information technologies such as JQuery to increase user convenience; integrate with biodiversity-related databases currently being implemented and link to domestic and foreign databases through unique scientific names. (2) attempts to convert the common ecological format to international standard formats such as EML and Darwin core so that the data collected in the past can be quickly transformed. This is to facilitate information exchange and data sharing. (3) works on data quality verification. By using geographic tools and newly published Catalogue of Life of Taiwan, data collected over the past four years can be revised and corrected. This is to improve data quality and enhance search accuracy. (4) starts implementing and testing an IPT system at the Fisheries Agency so that, in the future, data can easily be transformed and shared with GBIF.
Tasks completed in the first half of the year include:
1.?Data conversion ─ from the common ecological format to EML. The two kinds of standards were compared in order to locate their corresponding fields, and the XML structure of EML was analyzed in order to write a conversion program. So far the conversion is running smoothly; its results had been uploaded to the Metacat server to test accuracy.
2.?Data quality verification. The task is two-fold. One is to utilize Diva-GIS to detect outliers in collection localities and the other is to check the correctness of the species list. In addition to revising more than 9,900 scientific names, more than 60 species of algae were discovered to not be in the TaiBNET. |
