WP4 - Technical and infrastructure coordination
From pro-iBiosphere Wiki
About
The purpose of WP4 - led by Pensoft - is to facilitate joint studies and actions that will promote and enhance cooperation for a future technical and semantic interoperability between biodiversity platforms, including the promotion, monitoring the development and adoption of common mark-up standards. WP4 will exchange information and reach agreements that will facilitate the exchange of biodiversity-specific information (localities, treatments, keys, names, and references).
The objectives of WP4 are:
- Identify and develop strategies for increased cooperation among current and previously funded EU biodiversity related projects, and with non-EU projects;
- Identify and develop strategies to improve current taxonomic treatment servers and increase cooperation and coordination between the current existing electronic registers for species information;
- Identify current needs and promote future interoperability at technical and semantic level, through improvement and interoperability of the existing mark-up XML schemas and standards.
Task
- Task 4.1 Improve technical cooperation and interoperability at the e-infrastructure level
- Task 4.2 Promote and monitor the development and adoption of common mark-up standards and interoperability between schemas
