FishNet 2 Collaborative Georeferencing WorkshopLawrence, KS 10-11, Jan 2013

History1999: Creation of original FishNet Network

Z39.50 protocol for sharing data

Search via Species Analyst (distributed query model)

2005: FishNet 2 created

Search via DiGIR Portal (distributed query model)

Harvesting of DiGIR, DwCA, IPT, Static Spreadsheets

Search via FishNet 2 Portal (centralized query model)

2010: FishNet 2 (centralized query model)

Transition to DiGIR Protocol

2012-2016: Portal & data expansion and enhancement

Global network of fish collections

48 data providers

3.2 million lots

30+ million specimens

57% georeferenced

Current Project Goals:

To expand the number of records within FishNet to approximately 4 million lots representing over 30 million specimens To georeference all "georeferencable" records lacking geographic coordinates

To repatriate results to source data providers

Georeferencing Collaborators

“Preliminary” Assignments

2 out of 4 million records in need of georeferencing~290,000 locality records
