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
Registration now open!
