e-Biosphere 09

The International Conference on Biodiversity Informatics

1–3 June, 2009 London, England

Two Challenges to the Biodiversity Community

  • How much faster can taxonomists describe the millions of undiscovered species? Can a new species be formally described and documented during a three–day conference?
  • What will users of biodiversity information need in the coming years? What new databases and analytical capabilities should be developed?
The organizers of e-Biosphere 09 have organized an online collaboration system at www.e-biosphere09.org for the communities of biodiversity researchers and users of biodiversity information. In the months leading up to the conference, we challenge you to:

  • Form online communities of biodiversity researchers, database and software developers, and users
  • Explore these questions and develop Position Papers
  • Develop plans to describe, document, publish a new species and related data, and create an Encyclopedia of Life species page during the conference
  • Select Discussion Group leaders for the conference
  • Develop plans to demonstrate databases and software during the conference, and
  • Organize side–events that will take place during the conference
