Following are the schedule, topics, attendees and outcomes of Global Names Architecture workshops:
Year | Workshop Title | Location | Co-hosts |
|---|---|---|---|
2009 | Nomina V: Merging data from multiple taxonomies. | Woods Hole, MA USA | EoL |
2009 | Nomina IV: Taxonomic Name Processing | Woods Hole, MA USA | EoL |
2008 | Nomina III : Nomenclators Workshop A technical workshop with a focus in two main areas. 1) Evaluating technical models for building a common infrastructure for all nomenclatural acts, leading to the GBIF seed funding of the Global Names Usage Bank and 2) laying out requirements for the basis for Checklist Bank and EoL taxonomic indexing. | Margaret River, W.A. | EoL |
2008 | Global Nomenclators Architecture Meeting Discussions focused on a range of issues concerning a more coordinated and unified interface to the primary nomenclators. A key outcome was recognition among the nomenclators of the benefits of better coordination and interchange. One aspect of this that arose was to develop the means for the nomenclators to mirror one another to enhance access and ensure multiple copies were available. | Paris, France | EDIT |
2008 | ZooBank Data Providers Workshop This meeting brought in a number of zoological databases that tackle nomenclature for large zoological groups and included Zoo. Record. Also present and providing perspective were representatives from non-zoological databases. (IPNI, Index Fungorum, and the prokaryotes) Presentations covered both prospective and retrospective registration. | Paris, France | PESI, EDIT, ICZN |
2008 | Nomina II The group explored and prototyped a methodology for registering and indexing resources using a very lightweight indexing schema that would facilitate discovery of name and taxonomic resources via a collated index of names tied to resolvable links to data publishers. Among the outcomes is the Global Names Index portal. | Woods Hole, MA USA | EoL |
2007 | Nomina I The Nomina I meeting in Crete brought together a number of cross-code nomenclatural and taxonomic databases in conjunction with representatives from GBIF and the Encyclopedia of Life who seek to utilise these databases within their own respective data portals. One goal was to provide use cases for how these representatives actually utilize (or would like to utilize) taxonomic data. The second goal was to express a desire to develop a more formalized and share-able means to discover, access, utilize, and provide accountability-of-use of these taxonomic and nomenclatural resources.
