From Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP)

Latest revision as of 20:35, October 2, 2024

Biological sciences intersect with the Earth sciences in understanding processes that cross domains and provide a robust picture of our dynamic and changing planet. Biological data are heterogeneous and uniquely organized on a per project basis. As noted by an attendee of the IOOS-ESIP Biological Data Standards Workshop,

“The diversity of biological data, and (seeming) lack of overarching community standards makes working with biological data challenging.”

Several standards do exist for biological data, however these different data, metadata, and taxonomic standards are confusing for data managers and data users to navigate. The biological data community in the US could benefit from guidance, best practice documentation, training, and community building. Ultimately, the goal is to maximize data relevance and utility for understanding changes in biodiversity over time.

The Biological Data Standards Cluster will coordinate and, where possible, use outputs from existing clusters such as the Marine Data Cluster and the Schema.org Cluster. The Biological Data Standards Cluster will also engage with the Biodiversity Information Standards (aka TDWG) community to ensure approaches adopted by the US community align with those of the global community and to foster increased interaction between the two communities.

Community-generated Themes:

Increase awareness & interest in standards
Create unity/shared vision around biological data standards implementation & provide guidance related to biological standards
Provide opportunities for knowledge sharing & coordination
Provide connectivity across ESIP

News

Currently the cluster is working on promoting the primer on biological data standards and developing companion materials to assist with using the primer for data managers.
