present focus:

• Ex-situ-Collections

• In-situ-occurrence (incl. „on farm.“)

• Passport data• Characterization data• Evaluation data

• cultivated plants in agriculture, horticulture, fruit growing, viticulture• wild relatives of cultivated plants


future relevance:

D12: Publish data management methodology

WP3: Workshop „Data management methodologies“

Deliverables:

Agenda based upon the project proposal:


Workshop

Do we have distribution maps on all the species?

How does distribution match with protected areas ?

What do we really know if a population is within a nature park ?

What about populations outside protected areas ?

What do we have to know about data quality if we mix data from different sources ?

Which Standards?


Distribution of Vicia sativa subsp. sativa in Germany

Data source:Bundesamt f. Naturschutz(BfN)

Distribution of Vicia sativa subsp. Sativa in Germany

Data source:Bundesamt f. Naturschutz (BfN)

Protected areas (selection) Occurence of Vicia sativa ssp. Sativain protected areas


Same species, different mapping organisations, different statements

Workshop

Preparations prior to WS 3


Session 1: Data types - data availability - review of survey results - data sources (in situ | on farm)

- specimens, herbaria

Session 2: Data management - quality standards - data security, IPR - maintenance, stewardship,

- data use - target population management data - associated population management data

Workshop 3


Session 3: Analysis techniques- spatial analysis- numeric analysis- modelling

- ....- space and time

Session 4: Visualisation tools- which tools available- what else is needed- open source- Internet - PC- change in time- ....

Workshop 3


Session 5: Data(base) structures- Standards (OpenGIS, GML, ...)- Definition of data structure for in situ conservation (in situ | on farm)

Session 6: Relationship between PGR-Forum and EPGRIS data(base)structures technical matters
