Freshwater biodiversity
• Freshwater species face a higher extinction rate than species
in any other environment
• Need to improve capacity to protect and manage freshwater
biodiversity in the face of ongoing changes to global climate
and socioeconomics

Data publishing versus data sharing
• Data publishing paradigm
– Both ‘traditional’
publishing through data
paper as well as making
data available on-line
– Stressing importance of
providing a citation for
data and citing data
– Assigning a Digital
Object Identifier (DOI) to
data
Mark J. Costello (2009) Motivating Online Publication of
Data BioScience 59 (5): 418-427.
SIL2013 – August 2013 – Budapest, HUwww.freshwaterbiodiversity.eu
Building a global freshwater biodiversity
information hub – www.freshwaterbiodiversity.eu
• Bringing data and information together in a central place
– the BioFresh platform
• Making data more easily discoverable
• Outlet for scientists to publish their data
• Supporting large scale analysis and modelling using
these data
SIL2013 – August 2013 – Budapest, HUwww.freshwaterbiodiversity.eu
Building a global freshwater biodiversity
information hub
• Focus on
– information on datasets
(metadatabase)
– occurrence data (or
primary biodiversity data)
– distribution information
– all kinds of thematic
biodiversity maps
– other species information
SIL2013 – August 2013 – Budapest, HUwww.freshwaterbiodiversity.eu
Availability of data – general
• Large amounts of data are unavailable and we only have
a vague idea of its volume
• Example for the data available through the Global
Biodiversity Information Facility network
– 20% of existing digitised data available through GBIF.
Saarenmaa (2006) ArcUser Online.
– 3% of natural history collections (digitised and non-digitised) are
accessible through GBIF.
Ariño (2010) Biodiversity Informatics, 7(2).
• There is a substantial volume of data we ‘know’ exists,
but is hard to get by (e.g. data collected for monitoring
the state of the environment or the impact of
conservation efforts)
SIL2013 – August 2013 – Budapest, HUwww.freshwaterbiodiversity.eu
Availability of data – freshwater occurrences
• Based on the species names in the Freshwater Animal
Diversity Assessment (FADA) database (currently
covering about 1/3 of the global freshwater species) we
harvested the available occurrence data from GBIF
– 9M records, 7M geo-referenced (roughly 2% of the almost 400M
records)
– Roughly 1/3 collection data and 2/3 observation data
– Data from over 1200 datasets, but only 17 could be considered
being predominantly freshwater
• Data integrated in the BioFresh data portal
data.freshwaterbiodiversity.eu
SIL2013 – August 2013 – Budapest, HUwww.freshwaterbiodiversity.eu
Availability of data – freshwater databases
• BioFresh constructed a metadatabase for documenting
freshwater focused databases
– 162 entries (54 under quality control)

Data publishing through BioFresh
• Establishing a thematic freshwater node for the Global
Biodiversity Information Facility
• Data publishing efforts cover
– Data from project partners including databases from major EU
projects on freshwater biodiversity including WISER, EFI+,…
– Digitisation and compilation projects for completing data for
specific species groups: Odonata, EU fishes, Trichoptera,
Plecoptera, Ostracoda
– Mobilisation of data gathered for the intercalibration of methods
for the Water Framework Directive
– Encouraging the publication of your data…

SIL2013 – August 2013 – Budapest, HUwww.freshwaterbiodiversity.eu
Data publishing through BioFresh
• What can we offer data publishers
– Biodiversity data publication offering
• visibility
• citations
• possibility for peer review both for metadata as for data
– Technical data quality review
– Automatic integration of data in on-line database and
visualisation tools
– But see also next slides…
SIL2013 – August 2013 – Budapest, HUwww.freshwaterbiodiversity.eu
Data publishing through freshwater journals
• We convinced editors of 19 journals to
encourage the submission of biodiversity
data associated with papers published in
their journal
Bioscience, 62 (6): 529–530
• Submission of primary biodiversity data cfr.
submission of sequence data to GenBank
• Step towards mandatory/default procedure

SIL2013 – August 2013 – Budapest, HUwww.freshwaterbiodiversity.eu
Data publishing through data papers
• Producing a data paper for a dataset that is publicly
released (e.g. through the BioFresh data portal)
produces a clear mechanism to cite the data and track
its citation
• BioFresh is planning a theme issue focussing on
freshwater databases
• All contributions are very welcome!

Editor's Notes

  1. We see a clear need for focusing on data publication in freshwater as this environment faces high extinction rates (higher than in other environments cfr. Green line on Living Planet Index graph) and despite the attention for freshwater itself (as a resource) its biodiversity is often overlooked. [Freshwater ecosystems cover only a small percentage of of the Earth’s surface (~0.8%), but are of extreme importance for billions of people (esp. in developing countries) and host a comparatively large % of known species (10% of all animals –about 126 000 and 35% of vertebrates – about 20 000). And moreover, these freshwater species face a higher extinction rate than species in any other environment.]
