Lunchtime Challenge: Spatial Query, Spatial Response Assumptions Data sources in heterogeneous frames of reference Data providers are incapable of data transformations Requirements Arbitrary spatial bound as query condition Results in any spatial reference system Operable via DiGIR/BioCASE Actions Go to lunch Identify resources needed to fulfill this challenge Post your responses here
Notes From Group 1Assisting data providers to georeference their data
GBIF portal and other presentation services data discovery should include spatial queries including eg buffering currently assume that most analysis will be carried out locally eg on gis software establish framework of services for generalised species modeling using bioclimatic techniques for example, this would entail distributed sources of variables, range of processing sites and modelling allgorithms, GBIF should only be for data discovery and a centralised registry of available services Provide feature data (e.g., polygons) for named geospatial entities
Raster data resources for given map extents
Specimen point data on maps
Spatial queries for taxa (what's in my backyard) Other ideas

http://habanero.nhm.ukans.edu/zportal/tsasimple.asp The user interface is nice and it works fast. Output files are XML, Excel or ESRI's shapefile. Currently there is no Internet geographic viewer. Alternative tools are being developed that permit direct access to these data by using Excel and ESRI's ArcView, which are in development, but beta versions may be retrieved from Z.X.
