1 Atlas of Living Scotland New data infrastructure for research and citizen science John Sawyer and Rachel Stroud CEO NBN Trust,

2 Who is the National Biodiversty Network?

3 The National Biodiversity Network is the UK s largest partnership for nature

4 The National Biodiversity Network Taxonomic Recording Schemes + Societies Geographic recording schemes and societies Secretariat for the NBN Public Government (incl. agencies Honorary) 7+ million people Local Conservation Record and Wildlife Centres Museums, NGOs Research institutions botanic gardens and zoos 140+ members Industry Ecological Consultants 848 datasets 180+ Data Partners

5 NBN Vision Biological data collected and shared openly by the Network are central to the UK s learning and understanding of its biodiversity and are critical to all decisionmaking about nature and the environment Five Strategic Aims

6 NBN DATA FLOW PATHWAY Investment needed in all stages of data flow

7 data.nbn.org.uk 110 million species B.N.F.N. observations!!

8

9 Conclusions Complex technical data infrastructure in UK 112 million biological records aggregated via NBN Gateway is an extraordinary achievement Existing data infrastructure not fit for future purpose Strong support to improve the data infrastructure and share biological data

10 We need new data infrastructure to support research and citizen scientists, to engage larger audiences and increase the power of our marine and terrestrial data

11 We are nature Atlas Capital of the World

12 Atlas of Living Australia 25 million investment since billion downloads since 2009! Open Source!

13 Our objectives Provide: A trusted portal for Scottish biodiversity data Access to raw biodiversity data and information Data mapping, analysis and visualisation tools Access to data collection, management and research tools Educate: People about Scotland s biodiversity Promote: The value of our collective biodiversity data Improved decision-making about the environment All partners involved in collecting and curating biodiversity data in Scotland

14

15 Scotland s Environment Web (LIFE) Project and European LIFE funding programme

16 A daughter site for Scotland s Environment Web

17 Scalable model UK-wide Atlas NBN data in here English Atlas Scottish Atlas Welsh Atlas Northern Ireland Atlas LERC Atlas Invasive species portal Outer Hebrides Protected species portal

18 Atlas of Living Scotland

19 Taxon information Atlas of Living Scotland Map Images Sound Video Names Genetic sequencing Reference library Links to get involved

20 Interactive mapping interface Polygon search Data filters Customise map Multiple data filters Data downloads Excel and PDF

21 Filter on SRDP, SNH Sensitive species and Scottish Biodiversity List

22 Auto-summary data for a site

23 Sensitive species mapping blurred

24 Species density mapping

25 Creating Scotland s largest biodiversity image library

26 Spatial mapping and analysis enables: Integration of ecosystem, spatial layers and species data Bioclimatic modelling (MaxEnt) Scatter plotting Area reports All off the shelf with options for further innovation

27 Area biodiversity reports

28 EUNIS habitat mapping Aviemore

29 Barn owl in Scotland

30 Add broad-leaved woodland

31 Create predictive model (all done in 3 minutes) Relatively strong correlation between barn owl and broadleaved woodland

32 NBN Commitment to Atlas of Living Scotland 39 Data Partners committed in principle to sharing data (marine and terrestrial) on atlas 7 million species observations committed 10 spatial layers added so far

33 Open data licenses allowing research and innovation Four options: Open Government License (OGL) Creative Commons (CCO Version 4.0) Creative Commons with attribution (CC-BY) Creative Commons non-commercial (CC-BY-NC)

34 Help us Become an Atlas Data Partner Share data, environmental layers, images and research Join our user group Innovate to develop data visualisation and analysis tools Support NBN members

35 Thurs 19 Fri 20 November speakers, 4 symposia

36 Any questions?
