Each [[Term versus Concept|concept]] is described on a separate page. Concepts may be classes or properties or yet undefined. Concepts can be organized into one or more vocabularies maintained by a formally designated expert group. When the definitions for concepts are consolidated they can be included into one of the [[Term versus Concept|term]] vocabularies and published at the [http://rs.gbif.org GBIF Resources Repository]. The wiki approach is based on voluntarily contributions to maintain the concept descriptions. The approval of user accounts to this wiki is moderated—please [[Special:RequestAccount|request a user account]] if your are willing to contribute!
  
The [http://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Semantic_MediaWiki Semantic MediaWiki] is one of the software tools to be evaluated by the [http://community.gbif.org/pg/groups/21382/vocabulary-management/ Vocabulary Management Task Group (VoMaG)]. The Semantic MediaWiki platform has been proposed by the [http://vbrant.eu/content/wp4-standardisation 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 to be consolidated and included in one of the ratified Vocabulary of Terms to be included to the [http://rs.gbif.org GBIF Resources Repository]. GBIF has here installed a demo Semantic Wiki for the purpose of evaluation by the Vocabulary Management Task Group (VoMaG). See also the description of terms at the [http://species-id.net/wiki/Category:Term Species-ID Wiki]. An overview of the KOS tools is available at http://kos.gbif.org .

This platform is intended for evaluation by the GBIF-TDWG Vocabulary Management Task Group (VoMaG) in collaboration with WP 4 of the Virtual Biodiversity Research and Access Network for Taxonomy (ViBRANT). It is under development as an easy to use platform for:

  • the definition, curation, translation, annotation and discussion of basic concepts and terms in biodiversity terminology,
  • the collaborative development of vocabularies and ontologies
  • and as a service for discovery and interlinking of concepts in biodiversity.

Each concept is described on a separate page. Concepts may be classes or properties or yet undefined. Concepts can be organized into one or more vocabularies maintained by a formally designated expert group. When the definitions for concepts are consolidated they can be included into one of the term vocabularies and published at the GBIF Resources Repository. The wiki approach is based on voluntarily contributions to maintain the concept descriptions. The approval of user accounts to this wiki is moderated—please request a user account if your are willing to contribute!

“We are drowning in information, while starving for wisdom. The world henceforth will be run by synthesizers, people able to put together the right information at the right time, think critically about it, and make important choices”
E.O. Wilson, Harvard University.
