1 Integrated Global and Regional Taxonomies Professor Alex Gray Species 2000 and Cardiff University

2 A tribute to Frank Bisby

3 The Diagram Users CoL GSDs Lists

4 Conceptual Idea Simple Easily understood BUT Difficult to implement Development needed meeting of minds Diversity of data Scalability

5 Implementation Prototyping New tools Tools to support taxonomy 15 years ongoing development Continual revision and extension

6 1. What is the Catalogue of Life? A Resource an electronic synonymic species checklist, a tightly integrated taxonomic hierarchy, intended for all 1.9 M extant known species..constructed by international networking both checklist and hierarchy constructed from sectors from many networked databases around the world and integrated using an international panel of experts

8 Organisation Structure membership Ownership board secretariat Project team organisation Taxonomic group IS group

9 Organization units Organization units Project Team (science policy, think tank) Taxonomy Group (Team members + advisors) Information Technology Group (Team members + advisors) User Forum, GNA Group (Team members + advisors) Secretariat (Reading) & Executive Director Supporting activities, administrative tasks Board of Directors legal framework, connection to international efforts, politics

10 Global CoL Team 2011 Guy Baillargeon (Chair) Canada (Executive Secretary) Wouter Addink, Netherlands Jerry Cooper, New Zealand Dennis Gordon, New Zealand Nicolas Bailly, Philippines Hugo Navarrette, Ecuador David Eads (Interim Chair), USA Thierry Bourgoin, France Edward Vanden Berghe, USA Li-qiang Ji, China Thierry Bourgoin, France Edward Vanden Berghe, USA Richard White (Convenor ISG), UK Tom Orrell, USA Mike Ruggiero, USA Heimo Reiner, Austria The Team can be people strong Subgroup Taxonomy Subgroup Information System Mark Costello, China

11 CoL Progress by year Number of species by year Year

12

13 Members Currently 46 members There are now 100 participating databases Potential is an estimated 150 databases and partners Aim is to increase number of members and databases Species Database Access Agreement Species Database Licence Agreement

14 Members Species 2000 is interested in hearing from any individual or organisation which has a database which (or is intended) to cover the world's species within one particular group a global species database. Membership of Species 2000 is open to any individual, project or institution. Please contact the Secretariat: sp2000@sp2000.org.

15 Indexing for Life

16 New multi-hub architecture

17 World-wide Multi-Hub Network, with Regional Hubs 1. Species 2000 China Node (BioD. Com. CAS) Keping Ma & Liqiang Ji 2. Australian Hub (ABRS with ALA/CSIRO) Cameron Slatyer & Donald Hobern 3. New Zealand Hub (NZOR) Jerry Cooper 4. Catalogo da Vida Brasil (MST/ CNPq/ CRIA) Vanderlei Canhos 5. ITIS N. America (Smithsonian NMNH) Tom Orrell 6. Sp2000 Euro-Hub (PESI/ Pan European Species List) Thierry Bourgoin & Yde de Jong

18 Challenges for the future Filling the gaps with proto-gsd Improving coverage of existing GSD Improving number synonyms/related terms Updating existing GSD Expand multi-hub regional network Expand coverage to ranks above species Include fossils

19 The crossmapper Tool being developed in i4life Aims to compare lists with other lists/gsd Produces names only in 1 list Suggests relationships between terms Output passed to taxonomists Approved terms added to GSD Terms can be added to regional lists

20 Part of Flora do Brasil family Lis_Brasil sp2000 Diferença Apocynaceae Bignoniaceae Melastomataceae Lamiaceae Verbenaceae Malvaceae Malpighiaceae Rutaceae Acanthaceae Lauraceae Begoniaceae Convolvulaceae Piperaceae Sapindaceae Eriocaulaceae Loranthaceae Clusiaceae Polypodiaceae Ochnaceae Lythraceae Turneraceae Polygalaceae Moraceae Lecythidaceae Cyatheaceae Olacaceae
