Sharing Species Pages through Living Atlases using Plinian Core: Current state and new developments

Living Atlases (living-atlases.gbif.org) is a community of developers and organizations built around the software platform developed by Atlas Australia (ALA, ala.org.au). ALA includes number open source reusable modules designed to assemble biodiversity data portals. Nowadays, more than 25 institutional national portals world have been implemented with tools (living-atlases.gbif.org/participants). The organizes workshops prepares training materials present other institutions that want implement it, improve already existing learn from each other’s achievements (living-atlases.gbif.org/about). based integrate multiple sources using standards ruled TDWG, such as Darwin Core for species occurrences. working in integration types, like records sampling events. Plinian (PliC) generalistic specification, oriented share descriptions nomenclature, well many aspects (e.g. legal, conservation, management details) level information local regional (Pando 2018). Following several years development earlier versions, PliC version 3.1 was made publicly available 2012. following year, after approval “Species Information Interest Group'' TDWG Executive, Task Group created start aligning Standards Documentation Standard (SDS). Several full-fledged implementations were produced, between 2014 2019, including Costa Rica (CRBio.cr), Cross-Nature Project (datos.iepnb.es), Vasque Country (Spain) Official Nature System (ivap.euskadi.eus), Colombian Biodiversity Catalog (catalogo.biodiversidad.co) Enciclovida (Mexican Species Catalog, enciclovida.mx). These last three years, has reviewed definitions terms formal declarations, assisted Technical Architecture (TAG), objective ratifying Standard. One most used standardized GBIF Integrated Publishing Toolkit (IPT, gbif.org/en/ipt). IPT an web application allows standardize, publish sets through Atlases, GBIF, networks. toolkit simplifies process publishing core types taxon occurrence, checklists, event) and, means extensions, it possible associate additional type. As part our project, extensions PliC, accessible Sandbox, validated show how they can be pages IPT. In order fully into architecture, Informatics Research Center (CRBio) on adoption Explorer (BIE), module which manages taxonomic contents integrating global resources EOL or Wikipedia. This required modifications Portal codebase use model (github.com/tdwg/PlinianCore) display much richer content. assistance Capacity Enhancement Support Programme (CESP) we revisited expanded content type provided Rica.
