Inula hookeri
Until December 2010 I am employed as the project officer for Work Package 4 of the PESI project. My particular responsibility is the adoption of standards that will facilitate the integration of European, biological taxonomic data. The first deliverable of WP4 is a report on the current state of biodiversity standards and how they apply to PESI. This is very much a scoping document to outline what we need to do. In collaboration with my colleagues in WP4 and the wider project I have now submitted a final version of this document. It is for public consumption and you can read it here: wp41_pesi_standards_report_1_final_version.
(OK so Inula hookeri is not a European native but it is a naturalised alien in the UK and occurs in Euro+Med PlantBase and the picture fell to hand. The flies are probably two male Syrphus – perhaps S. ribesii, S. torvus, or S. vitripennnis – Thanks to Louis Boumans for the det.)
This talk has been put together for the LifeWatch WP5 workshop “Semantic Data Integration” taking place in IBED Nieuwe Achtergracht 166, 1018 WV Amsterdam between Monday 18 may 13:00 and Tuesday 19 may 15:00, 2009.
Having discovered Slideshare I am wondering whether I should put all talks together like this.
Saturday 24th May – I just played this through again and boy is it slow. Was I on valium when I recorded it? Was I in the bathroom? The content is still potentially interesting for some but I apologize for quality of the delivery!
