This is a PROTOTYPE Semantic Wiki intended for the evaluation by the Vocabulary Management Task Group (VoMaG). See also the description of terms at the Species-ID Wiki. An overview of the KOS tools is available at http://kos.gbif.org . The terminology wiki is under consideration for collaborative development, public discussion, and as a service for discovery of biodiversity terminology. The wiki approach is based on voluntarily contributions to maintain the term descriptions. The approval of user accounts to this wiki is moderated - please request a user account if your are willing to contribute! Each term is described by separate wiki pages. Terms are identified by their original and normative identifier (URI) and can be organized into one or more term vocabularies maintained by a formally designated expert group.
The Semantic MediaWiki is one of the software tools to be evaluated by the Vocabulary Management Task Group (VoMaG). The Semantic MediaWiki platform has been proposed by the Virtual Biodiversity Research and Access Network for Taxonomy (ViBRANT) as a user-friendly and easy to use platform for the collaborative development and definition of basic terms. When the definitions for terms are consolidated they can be included into one of the term vocabularies and published at the GBIF Resources Repository.
