“…GLOBIS-B has produced its first outputs, and a recent publication (Kissling et al 2015) details thoughts on interoperability in support of EBVs. GLOBIS-B correctly identifies a scientific challenge (definition of EBVs) and a technical one (legal and information technology considerations) that need to be addressed.…”

GEO BON regards development of a global infrastructure in support of Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBVs) as one of its main objectives. To realise the goal, an understanding of the context within which such an infrastructure needs to operate is important (for instance, it is part of a larger drive towards research data infrastructures in support of open science?) and the information technology applicable to such infrastructures needs to be considered. The EBVs are likely to require very specific implementation guidelines once the community has defined them in detail. In the interim it is possible to anticipate the likely architecture for a GEO BON infrastructure, and to provide guidance to individual researchers, institutions, and regional or global initiatives in respect of best practice. The best practice guidelines cover general aspects applicable to all research infrastructures, the use of persistent identifiers, interoperability guidelines in respect of vocabularies, data services and meta-data management, and advice on the use of global infrastructure services and/or federated, standards-based implementations. It has been widely accepted that the future usability and availability of research outputs, and specifically data, will be enhanced by proper description of these outputs using standardised metadata schemes, supplemented by deposit of the data in trusted repositories. Despite this, such outputs continue to be poorly described in practice. In addition, it is also commonly reported that the data supporting scholarly publication quickly becomes inaccessible or lost (Vines et al. 2014;Goddard et al. 2011). This disparity between what is seen as desirable behaviour, and reality is about to change, due to three significant drivers: Keywords• Data publication and citation is gaining momentum (Chavan and Penev 2011). For a comprehensive review, see the report by a CoDATA 1 Task Group (Socha 2013).• Funders are increasingly demanding the preservation of and continued open access to tax-funded research outputs.2,3,4• Controversy in respect of reproducibility of scientific claims 5 have led to insistence by journals 6 that the data underpinning articles should be made available.We believe these drivers will rapidly increase the availability of well-described, well-preserved, and sometimes standardised data services in the future. Research InfrastructuresThe drive towards data publication and citation requires support, hence the growth and proliferation of Research Data Infrastructures. These are supplemented strongly by voluntary, community-driven initiatives, and by member-funded bodies that support standardisation and interoperability.Infrastructure operates on several levels: it provides governance and collaboration infrastructure (for example, the Belmont Lifewatch,19 and others). It is worth noting that one of the motivations for the Research Data Alliance is to provide a cross-disciplinary, global exchange to minimise duplication of effort and divergence. Hence the landscape is at once chara...

“…On the other hand, we also believed that conservationist and ecologist could possibly neglect the process of data collection and data input quality. Kissling et al (2015), Roberts and Hardisty (2012), and Leidenberger et al (2015) said that there are two current challenges to process the biodiversity and environment data. The first challenge is for the ecologist and conservationist to see the pattern of sufficient data collected from many different resources to obtain the information and knowledge from the data.…”

Abstract. Biodiversity loss is a global issue and is especially of pressing concern in mega diverse countries, such as Indonesia. To prevent any further catastrophe, the Ministry of Forestry and Environment of Republic of Indonesia has been promoting the resort based management to be implemented in Indonesia to maximize the performance of conservation activity. The lack of data standardization made it hard to organize and manage archipelagic country that consist 17,504 islands with no technology provision in most of them. In this paper we develop a framework of integration mobile-web technology for biodiversity and conservation in Indonesia. We introduced a new framework to maintain the biodiversity and conservation data in Indonesia.

“…21) to name just a few. Securing these ecosystem services and understanding the underlying ecosystem processes require knowledge about the taxonomic, phylogenetic, genetic, and functional diversity of nature (e.g., Kissling et al 2015). The urgency of this matter was recognized by the Parties to the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) who established the Aichi Targets for 2020, which aim to halt biodiversity loss, protect various levels of life forms, and implement sustainable use of natural resources (http://www.cbd.int/sp/elements/).…”

The registered company address is: Gewerbestrasse 11, 6330 Cham, Switzerland Challenges in Riverine Ecosystem Management Jan Sendzimir and Stefan SchmutzThis book is dedicated to those interested in the natural and social sciences and elements of governance that will support the sustainable management of rivers and aquatic ecosystems. Since elements of nature and society interact to determine the integrity and trajectory of these systems, they are referred to hereafter as socialecological systems (SESs). This introduction opens the door to these topics in four steps. It begins by explaining why a book dedicated to river management and science is needed at this point. In the second part, it outlines the history of some of the major developments that challenge the integrity of SESs worldwide. In the third part, it describes several of the principal tools used to study as well as manage SES. Tools to measure the degree of degradation of an SES include indicators of biological integrity, ecosystem health, and resilience. Tools to assess and manage the trajectory of an SES include the DPSIR and adaptive management. The introduction closes by outlining the structure of the book through the progression of its chapters. Justification of BookRivers are among the most threatened ecosystems of the world. For more than a centur...
