The issues & challenges …. – for biodiversity research / taxonomy : ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],ViBRANT kickoff meeting, MNHN, Paris 20-21 January 2011

1) Facilitate data capture: technology …!?? The answers ….

2) Improve data quality: new technology …!?! The answers ….

Bos, A. Turpaud, A. Schäfer-Verwimp The answers …. 3) Increase data integration: new, virtual infrastructures !!!

EDIT WP7 objectives Strengthening the input of scientific taxonomic expertise in Europe for biodiversity conservation programs and management, especially for inventories, assessments, and monitoring of biodiversity; Furthering development and promotion of standards, techniques and methodologies for cost efficient biodiversity assessments including a new approach for an "All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory & Monitoring" (ATBI+M) program; Establishing a European expert task force for undertaking and supporting biodiversity inventories, assessments, and monitoring activities

EDIT WP7 „Applying Taxonomy to Conservation“ ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Implementation of the objectives => ATBI+M ”All Taxa Biodiversity Inventories + Monitoring” “ large-scale field inventories to record all biodiversity”
