Phylogenetics Standards Interest GrouporTrees at TDWG Hilmar Lapp & Nico Cellinese
Acknowledgments • EOL-BioSynC • Mark Westneat, Rick Ree, Audrey Aronowski, and Darolyn Striles • National Evolutionary Synthesis Center (NESCent) • TDWG organizers for their unbelievable patience, especially • Stan Blum for coming to the rescue every time we needed to be rescued • Lee Belbin and Anna Weitzman for assistance with our abstract submissions and for putting up with our procrastination
Motivation • Consolidate efforts that have been on-going individually or in small groups • Build an international platform that helps in broadly promulgating standards and in furthering adoption among stakeholders • Interacting with other interest groups facilitates re-use of already existing efforts and standards, and allows harnessing the expertise and experience in developing standards and communicating those to the users
Motivation • Combining existing metadata schema, many of which are only implicit. • Standardizing the metadata vocabulary and defining common semantics. • Addressing interoperability gaps in phyloinformatic tools and web services. • Defining data and metadata services, providers, and portals. • Defining standards for documenting provenance and relationships between providers.
Motivation • Rate of data deposition/ingest into permanent repositories is low and inconsistent. • Identifying incentives and standard mechanisms for more consistent data deposition • Defining a minimum reporting standard that maximizes the chance of repurposing
Workshop • Many people dropped by suggesting that there is a good interest within TDWG about phylogenetic standards development • We want anyone interested to join the group • We have a TDWG wiki and a mailing list • We are in the process of preparing a new EOL-BioSynC proposal to fund additional workshops
