Title: Publishing 'Omics Data to GBIF-US & OBIS-USA
Presenter: Dr. Stephen Formel, Biologist, U.S. Geological Survey
Abstract: The Ocean Biodiversity Information System (OBIS) and the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) are international initiatives for open biodiversity science. Although they are primarily known for their data aggregation platforms, both OBIS and GBIF represent vibrant communities who are very engaged in developing the necessary standards and practices to make biodiversity observations FAIR, regardless of the data type. Stephen will give an overview of OBIS and GBIF, including context for how it relates to the United States. He will discuss the benefits of using the ready-made standards and platforms for publishing and share the resources that are available for learning how to publish. There will be a special focus on publishing metabarcoding/eDNA data with examples drawn from a recent dataset published to OBIS and GBIF by Katherine Silliman et al. of AOML.
