[S22] How species interactions are managed in Plinian Core: Status and questions

Abstract
Plinian Core is a set of vocabulary terms that can be used to describe all kind of properties related to taxa (https://github.com/tdwg/PlinianCore). "Interactions" is a class of properties included in the "Natural History" class. In its current state, the class comprises the elements taken from the Darwin Core class "ResourceRel ... https://doi.org/10.3897/tdwgproceedings.1.20556

[S22] Addressing the proposal for new Darwin Core terms for interaction data

Abstract
A proposal has been made to create new terms in the Darwin Core Standard to represent biological interaction/species interaction concepts in raw data. The motivation is to consistently perform vertical integration of raw data e.g. to facilitate discovery of larger, more representative datasets. The proposition may be problematic ... https://doi.org/10.3897/tdwgproceedings.1.20350

[S22] GoMexSI: Using Open Platforms such as Github, Wordpress, and GloBI to Manage, and Share Species Interaction Data

Abstract
Biodiversity data and databases are usually taxonomic specific (e.g. HerpNet, FishNet2, etc.), although there are cases of regional, non-taxa specific, biodiversity databases. And some biodiversity databases are inclined toward a functional category, such as invasive species. While it is critical to know of the existence and tax ... https://doi.org/10.3897/tdwgproceedings.1.20325

[S22] Brazilian Plant-Pollinator Interactions Network: definition of a data standard for digitization, sharing, and aggregation of plant-pollinator interaction data

Abstract
Pollination is considered one of the most important processes for biodiversity conservation (Kremen 2005). Recently, the global community, by means of the Intergovernmental Platform of Biodiversity and Ecosystems Services (IPBES 2016), and also, the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD 2002) recognized the importance of plant-pollinator interactions for ecosystems functioning and sustainable agriculture. ...https://doi.org/10.3897/tdwgproceedings.1.20298

[S22] Global Biotic Interactions: A Catalyst For Integrating Existing Interaction Datasets, Connecting Data Curators And Developing Data Exchange Methods

Abstract
Since 2013, Global Biotic Interactions (GloBI, globalbioticinteractions.org, Poelen et al. 2014) has taken an opportunistic, decentralized approach to integrating, and make accessible, existing species interaction datasets. Rather than expecting dataset curators to conform to some publication regime, methods were developed to au ... https://doi.org/10.3897/tdwgproceedings.1.20214

[S22] mangal - making sense of biotic interaction data

Abstract
There are exponentially more species interactions than there are species - and this should entice us to be exponentially more careful when designing a data format to represent species interactions. The tradition in the analysis of species interaction networks was to store matrices, but this format is inefficient, does not offer ... https://doi.org/10.3897/tdwgproceedings.1.19993
