TOP 1 Status quo: data mobilisation (generation of new data, processing of historical data)

  • Czech partners
    • number of records in PLADIAS: 605.000
    • number of records 2019 from Czech locations: 20.000 (will be imported in PLADIAS in spring)
    • in PLADIAS only data from Czech locations and within a 100 m range outside of the borders of Czech Republic can be managed; thus there are not very much data from Bavarian locations kept in PLADIAS and that data are under a closed license, therefore currently **** verstehe ich nicht **** on action has to be taken.
    • Further data not kept in PLADIAS from Bavarian locations (e. g. by M. Lepši & P. Lepši) are existing. They will be prepared and delivered to Marcel (cc: Tanja Weibulat and Wolfgang Diewald). They will not be added to BFLportal01 as this project is for bavarian data only. They could be provided via an export in a structure suitable for PLADIAS template tables. **** verstehe ich nicht ****
  • Bavarian partners
    • number of records in DiversityCollection: 316.000 (< 12.000 with point coordinates)
    • number of records 2019 for the Bavarian forest region (FSG project): 7490, all with point coordinates; incl. 496 from Czech locations; Czech data will be exported and given to Milan Štech and Zdenek Kaplan, they will not be imported in PLADIAS, but visualized in the common maps).
    • number of records 2019 for the Bavarian forest region (Klotz, BASG): ?
    • number of historical records to be processed in 2020 (Nationalpark Bayerischer Wald): 50.000
    • number of historical records to be quality-improved in 2020 (Florein database Diewald --> updating existing records): 80.000


TOP 2 Status quo: occurrence data processing until data provision

(technical improvements, ABCD mapping, withhold of data not assigned to taxref-numbers)

  • Czech partners
    • PLADIAS data from Czech FSG locations, together with very few data from Bavarian FSG locations could be provided for GBIF as separate data publication via Diversity Workbench data pipelines. An export of PLADIAS data from Czech (and Bavarian?) locations would be necessary. PLADIAS data managed in DWB for GBIF publication should met the Creative Commons CC BY 4.0 license. For data publication via GBIF, the data with WGS84 coordinates, 1/64 grid etc. will be aggregated at GRID/Q level as regularily done in the Flora of Bavaria project. Each data package send to GBIF gets a DOI which can be cited.
  • Bavarian partners
    • In the near future the BioCASe guided export of BFL occurrence data will be restricted on taxa which are referenced in the BFL TaxRef (Bavarian taxon reference list *** link ***) and linked to a Tax-Ref ID. The suggestion to provide an export only with data converted to accepted names, would make an additional BioCASe data pipeline for export and data provision as separate xml zip archive necessary. The Bavarian partners want to avoid this. Thus the data have to be translated to accepted names by the Czech partners via the current taxon name list version. This is dynamically provided by the DTN Rest Web Service *** (The BFL taxon list has the project ID: ...); see also REST-webservice provides taxon-ID
    • In near future the BioCASe occurrence data export package will include the taxon-ID for each record: ABCD-mapping for this will be improved, the ABCD element "identification/references-field" is proposed for this issue.
    • Information on the geographic accuracy ("Unschärfe") will be exported in the future; it will be shown in exact value (meters) and as text (value for quadrant) ###eigentlich geht es hier um die Genauikeit von Punktkoordinaten einerseits und die Quadranten-Unschärfe andererseits MR: Quadrantenunschärfe ist immer ca. 12,7 km bei U und etwas weniger bei S, W, etc. Punktunschärfe ist immer ca. 2 km? entsprechend 2 Stellen hinter dem Komma.###
    • as an example of “Unschärfe” concerning quadrants see Daten der Biotopkartierung
    • accuracy of coordinates will be shown in exaxt value (meters)
    • A new data package "BFLportal01 ?????" including the changes mentioned above is planned for January.


TOP 3 Status quo: on management of taxonomic backbones

Taxon names with p.p. concepts concerns about 1.400 occurrence records in the FSG project. Solutions for this are searched by experts on a single-case basis.

  • Czech partners
    • FSG consensus backbone of taxa for PLADIAS map presentation is hosted by Milan Štech
  • Bavarian partners
    • Number of BFL taxref entities managed in DiversityTaxonNames for the Bavarian forest region (status November 2019): 1736 accepted names (1255 on species rank)

Further issues were already treated under TOP 3.

TOP 4 Status quo: on common web presentation of the project

  • Requests for the modification of the web presentation can be communicated to (wer ist ansprechpartner dafür?)###.
  • Work on the project website is in progress. The text will be in Czech and German, main chapters also in English. At the moment the German text ist not satisfying. The text of the main chapters should be finished and translated to German by Czech partners as soon as possible. Text blocks on the Flora von Bayern website can be used as a template. After this first level translation is done, the German language emendment, especially concerning the discipline-specific wording, will be done by Cornelia Straubinger (with assistance of Wolfgang Diewald and Dagmar Triebel).
  • Plant descriptions/characteristics will be written in Czech and then translated into German. This task has already started and is realised as free-text descriptioons under fixed topic headers. Alternatively, descriptions could be created in a semi-structured or structured way using management tools as DiversityDescriptions. Diversity Description provides a flexible data model, characters, character states and character groups as well as character dependencies can be defined and translations can be automatized. Examples for the use of DiversityDescriptions: Heilpflanzen-Quiz, DEEMY
  • Additional plant fotos taken from plants in the FSG region will be needed. Milan Štech started with imaging and collectiong fotos of common plants.


TOP 5 Status quo: "in situ" floristic status categories and processing

  • Czech partners
    • Floristic status will not (###habe ich das richtig verstanden? MR: das ist an mir vorbeigegangen###) be indicated in the maps at the project website but is necessesary for writing the plant descriptions.
  • Bavarian partners
    • Data exports provide several entries for status: original status and processed status. The last status is the one to be used. At the moment there is no consensus if all entries (original and processed status) should be exported or only the first and the last. An additional text field in ABCD (MeasurementOrFactText) will contain the information of the sequence of the status.
    • A "translation" table for right conversion of status entries from DiversityCollection to PLadias is provided.


TOP 6 To Dos and priorities

  • The obligatory paper we fixed in our project application is suggested to be published in Biodiversity Data Journal Data Papers. It should contain all we discussed today, describe the data pipelines and desribe the management of two kinds of checklist and different status systems. The draft of this paper should be written during the second half of next year.
  • Milan Štech plans a separate paper about the FSG project in one of the serials of ČBS (Preslia).
  • A presentation about first results of the FSG project in front of the Bayerische Botanische Gesellschaft should be done in 2021.


AOB

  • The need to (internally)document FSG-related data pipelines and data flows is emphasised.
  • The partners will discuss the option to publish a data paper in the Biodiversity Data Journal (e.g. on challenges with FSG data and a description of the datasets involved)
  • The date for the submission of the first annual reports is December (first week). The reports should be very short and be coordinated with Radka Bunešová and Katka Zemanová.
