A data management workflow of biodiversity data from the field to data users.

摘要: Premise Heterogeneity of biodiversity data from the collections, research, and management communities presents challenges for findability, accessibility, interoperability, reusability. Workflows designed with collection, standards, dissemination, reuse in mind will generate better information across geopolitical, administrative, institutional boundaries. Here, we present our workflow as a case study how collected, shared, used multiple sources. Methods In 2012, initiated collection relating to Michigan prairie fens, including on plant federally endangered Poweshiek skipperling (Oarisma poweshiek). Results Over 23,000 occurrence records were compiled database following Darwin Core standards. The linked media biological, chemical, geometric measurements. We published Global Biodiversity Information Facility sets Symbiota SEINet portals. Discussion highlight techniques that optimized transcription time, use predetermined controlled vocabulary, terms, dictionaries. validity longevity supported by voucher specimens, metadata measurement records, manuscripts detailing methods sets. Key dissemination was cooperation among partners utilization dynamic tools. To increase need flexible customizable templates, coding, enhanced communication using data.
