	abstract = {Much progress has been made in the past ten years to fulfil the potential of biodiversity informatics. However, it is dwarfed by the scale of what is still required. The Global Biodiversity Informatics Outlook (GBIO) offers a framework for reaching a much deeper understanding of the world{\textquoteright}s biodiversity, and through that understanding the means to conserve it better and to use it more sustainably. The GBIO identifies four major focal areas, each with a number of core components, to help coordinate efforts and funding. The co-authors, from a wide range of disciplines, agree these are the essential elements of a global strategy to harness biodiversity data for the common good.},

	abstract = {<p>Deliverable D3.1 \&ldquo;Technical Interoperability Specifications\&rdquo;, prepared on the basis of available information at the time of writing, is the output of CReATIVE-B task T3.1, which aims to \&ldquo;Compare the technical basis of e-infrastructures (for biodiversity research)\&rdquo;. It provides a synopsis comparison of the technical approaches of the e-infrastructures analysed within the scope of the project and elaborates the interoperability analysis by defining it and making a quantitative comparison of the technical facts gathered thus far. It reflects as accurately as possible the technical findings, structured along dimensions of interoperability that match the functional areas and layers of the research infrastructures being analysed. Deliverable D3.1 aims at shedding light on existing similarities and differences between participating research infrastructures thus forming a solid information and knowledge basis for future interoperability guidelines developments in D3.2 and D3.3.</p>

	title = {Towards a Roadmap for Biodiversity and Ecosystem research in Europe},

	address = {Brussels},
	abstract = {<p>a. Toward a research infrastructure RoadmapThe European Commission expressed its interest to receive within two months a preliminary Roadmap for research infrastructures supporting research on biodiversity, ecosystem and ecosystem services. The initial conclusions of the workshop as presented in this document provide a basis for a more elaborated document. The involved European infrastructures and their associated Integrated Activities are invited to suggest persons to serve as editors of this roadmap document. Depending on the disciplinary profiles of the suggested persons, it may be necessary to identify expertise from missing areas. The proposed editing team resulting from this consultation is expected to include 6 to maximum 10 persons trusted by the community to expand this this report to a Roadmap within two months, while allowing others to contribute through an on-line forum or other mechanisms. The participants of the workshop will have the opportunity to comment on the proposed team. Depending on time, experts on specific topics may want to meet together to discuss in more detail common priorities to be included in the emerging Roadmap. As for example the working group that discussed e-infrastructure in the workshop agreed to organize another workshop to analyse einfrastructure gaps. b. Structuring the research infrastructure community The editing team above will be invited to also consider how a more permanent structure dealing with updating the common Roadmap for research infrastructures could be established. Initial options as were recommended in the workshop of 19 and 20 March 2013 are presented in paragraph 3.5 of this report. Any further plans might be discussed in an appropriate session of the upcoming INTECOL conference (18-23 August 2013)9 and the planned European Biodiversity Informatics Conference (first week of September 2013).</p>

	abstract = {Biodiversity informatics plays a central enabling role in the research community{\textquoteright}s efforts to address scientific conservation and sustainability issues. Great strides have been made in the past decade establishing a framework for sharing data, where taxonomy and systematics has been perceived as the most prominent discipline involved. To some extent this is inevitable, given the use of species names as the pivot around which information is organised. To address the urgent questions around conservation, land-use, environmental change, sustainability, food security and ecosystem services that are facing Governments worldwide, we need to understand how the ecosystem works. So, we need a systems approach to understanding biodiversity that moves significantly beyond taxonomy and species observations. Such an approach needs to look at the whole system to address species interactions, both with their environment and with other species.},
