www.biodiversidad.navarra.esProject Goals

About INFORMATION

� Guarantee the quality, up-to-date and interoperability of the spatial and alphanumeric data and photo galleries.

� Facilitate access, use and flow of biodiversity spatial information between all the stakeholders.

About BIODIVERSITY

� Introduce conservation approaches in the management and use of the territory.

� Go beyond administrative frontiers in the biodiversity management.

� Enhance the natural patrimony and existing information knowledge.

www.biodiversidad.navarra.esProject Goals

About ORGANIZATION

� Promote a unique model: basic, integrated, updated and georreferenced including all the issues regarding biodiversity.

� Incorporate tools for detect gaps, contradictions and errors not only about information but also about management.

� Create an experts and collaborators network that promotes the initiative in a participative way.

� Collaborate with other National and European initiatives for standards and Good Practises creation.

www.biodiversidad.navarra.esinformation is a problem ... management is more complicated

www.biodiversidad.navarra.esThe solution: an Infrastructure

BUILD BY ALL:Public Administration, divulgators, teachers, investigators, techniques, forest ranger, conservationist associations, consulting, etc.

FOR ALL:Satisfying in a personalized and scalable way several technical and management requirements, answering citizens knowledge demands

with GEOGRAPHICAL component

with METADATA

with technical, semantic and organizational INTEROPERABILITY

From SPECIES, we access to habitats and/or

sites information

Version 2.1 (2011 - march/2012)

organizational:� More feed-back from new working groups

� Spreading to engage new users

development:� open wiki content to providers

� including counting of species and “not protected” sites

� exchanging with GBIF primary data of species distribution

� documenting by new type of elements (enter in “triangulation”)

� widening search pictures engine to all contents

harmonization:� data model and metadata profile fully compatible with INSPIRE

� data model for "species" compatible with Darwin Core

www.biodiversidad.navarra.es… and continue improving
