GBIF Participants’ Report 2011Background and context

• GBIF has run an online Participant Reporting System in its current form from 2009-2011

• The previous reports are available here:

• 2009: http://www.gbif.org/orc/?doc_id=2958

• 2010: http://www.gbif.org/orc/?doc_id=3075&l=en

• In response to feedback that the previous reports were too lengthy, the 2011 Participants’ Report is presented in this format of a deck of slides to enable reuse by Participants in relevant presentations.

• These slides are a complete analysis of the data provided by GBIF Participants in 2011, including a regional view to support the work of the regional subcommittees.

• Trends from 2009-2012 are included where a sufficient number of Participants have responded to a question over the three years.

• A highlights presentation, presented to the Governing Board at their 19th meeting in Lillehammer, 2012 will be available after the meeting here: http://www.gbif.org/orc/?doc_id=4823

• Tools to customize and deploy data portals

• Tools for harvesting and indexing datasets from your community of data providers

• Tools for documenting and sharing metadata

• Three main problems identified• Value of the Participant Reporting

System to GBIF’s Participants• Lessons learnt• Conclusions

Trend in response rates

Problem 1: Low response rates, incomplete reports, patchy data

Page 101: Global Biodiversity Information Facility Participants’ Report 2011 Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF)

Feedback on PRS scope and system

Problem 2: Too many questions, but still not enough detail overall

“The report is useful and

relevant, but it is too long”

“The report is useful and

relevant, but it is too long”

“I believe the report is not sufficiently detailed to

figure out why at the participant level progress is not as high as it should be.”

“I believe the report is not sufficiently detailed to

figure out why at the participant level progress is not as high as it should be.”

Problem 3: Using questionnaire software for reporting purposes

“The report could provide more summary information about my NODE extracted from the

GBIF data portal and other GBIF information

systems.”

PRS lessons learnt

1. GBIF receives information from Participants through various streams that need to be brought together in an automated way

Page 105: Global Biodiversity Information Facility Participants’ Report 2011 Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF)

PRS lessons learnt

2. Participant needs and priorities benefit from discussion in order to better understand the requirements and way forward

Through regional meetings, the NSG, and focal Nodes groups, develop recommendations and feasible approaches in consensus between the regions

Page 106: Global Biodiversity Information Facility Participants’ Report 2011 Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF)

Conclusions

The GBIFS will not run the Participant Reporting System in the same way for 2012

GBIF is focusing on improving those network status metrics which could be made available through country and regional pages to be developed in the new Portal in an automated way

The Nodes Steering Group (NSG) is now a functional standing committee providing rich recommendations through regional reports and input on Nodes’ priorities to the GBIF Work Programme

The GBIF Secretariat proposes to work with the NSG to devise a new set of metrics to be assessed through regional reporting to complement information available through the portal
