Getting there:

  • From Munich airport (duration about 60 min): Take S1 in the direction of 'München Hauptbahnhof'. There is a 'S-Bahn' every 20 minutes. Get off the train at the stop 'Moosach'. All stops can be found on the map 'S-Bahn, U-Bahn und Regionalzug im MVV'. At Moosach station take bus no. 51 in the direction 'Aidenbachstraße' (there is a bus every 10 minutes) and get off at 'Maria-Ward-Straße'. From here you can walk the 400 m along Menzingerstraße or otherwise take bus line 17 (direction Amalienburgstraße) and get off one stop later ('Botanischer Garten München-Nymphenburg'). Details are given under MVV Fahrplanauskunft.
  • From Munich main station (duration about 30 min): Start at 'Hauptbahnhof Süd' by taking bus 17 to 'Amalienburgstraße'. There is a bus every 10 min. Get of the bus at 'Botanischer Garten München-Nymphenburg'. Details are given under MVV Fahrplanauskunft.

Minutes

Responsible for minutes: Wolfgang Diewald, Marcel Ruff

TOP 1 Status quo: data mobilisation (generation of new data, processing of historical data)

  • Czech partners
    • number of records in PLADIAS: 605.000
    • number of records 2019 for Czech side: 20.000 (will be imported in spring)
    • in PLADIAS only data of Czech Republic and within a very small range outside the borders of Czech Republic can be managed; thus there are not very much datasets from Bavarian side kept in PLADIAS; SNSB IT-Center will get an export of data from Bavarian side as precise as possible due to license regulations
    • Further data not kept in PLADIAS from Bavarian side (e. g. by M. Lepši & P. Lepši) is existing. They will be prepared and delivered to Marcel (CC: Tanja Weibulat and Wolfgang Diewald). They could be provided as shown in PLADIAS template tables.
  • Bavarian partners
    • number of records in DiversityCollection: 316.000 (< 12.000 with point coordinates)
    • number of records 2019 for the Bavarian forest region (FSG project): 7490, all with point coordinates; incl. 496 from Czech side; Czech data will be exported and given to Milan Štech and Zdenek Kaplan, they will not be imported in PLADIAS, but visualized in the common maps)
    • number of records 2019 for the Bavarian forest region (Klotz, BASG): ?
    • number of historical records to be processed in 2020 (Nationalpark Bayerischer Wald): 50.000
    • number of historical records to be quality-improved in 2020 (Florein database Diewald --> updating existing records): 80.000


TOP 2 Status quo: occurrence data processing until data provision

(technical improvements, ABCD mapping, withhold of data not assigned to taxref-numbers)

  • Czech partners
  • Bavarian partners
    • In the future only taxa which are hosted in BFLnames will be exported. The suggestion to provide an export only with data converted to accepted names, would make a separate export and a new data pipeline necessary.
    • Export package will be provided with taxon-ID, ABCD-handling will be improved, REST-webservice provides taxon-ID
    • Proposal: same export as now, but but with ID (identification/references-field
    • “Unschärfe” (indistinctness?) will be exported in future; it will be shown in exact value (meters) and as text (value for quadrant) ###eigentlich geht es hier um die Genauikeit von Punktkoordinaten einerseits und die Quadranten-Unschärfe andererseits###
    • as an example of “Unschärfe” concerning quadrants see Daten der Biotopkartierung
    • accuracy of coordinates will be shown in exaxt value (meters)


TOP 3 Status quo: on management of taxonomic backbones

(challenge: names with p.p. concepts (1.400 datasets)###

  • Czech partners
    • FSG consensus backbone of taxa for PLADIAS map presentation is hosted by Milan Štech
  • Bavarian partners
    • number of BFL taxref entities for the Bavarian forest region: 1736 accepted names (1255 on species rank)


TOP 4 Status quo: on common web presentation of the project

  • Work on the project website is in progress. The text will be in Czech and German, main chapters also in English. At the moment the German text ist not satisfying. The text of the main chapters should be finished and translated to German by Czech partners as soon as possible. Text blocks on the Flora von Bayern website can be used as a template. Corrections of German language will timely be made by Cornelia Straubinger (with assistance of Wolfgang Diewald and Dagmar Triebel).
  • Plant descriptions/characteristics will be written in Czech and then translated into German. Creating this text could be done in DiversityDescriptions. There a flexible data model is provided and characters can be defined. Examples for applications of DiversityDescriptions: Heilpflanzen-Quiz, DEEMY
  • Plant fotos from the region will be completed. Milan Štech started with common plants.


TOP 5 Status quo: "in situ" floristic status categories and processing

  • Czech partners
    • Floristic status will not (###habe ich das richtig verstanden?###) be indicated in the maps at the project website but is necessesary for writing the plant descriptions.
  • Bavarian partners
    • Data exports provide two entries for status: original status and processed status. The "second" (processed) status is correct an in many cases more important. At the moment there is no consensus if both entries (original and processed status) should be exported. An improvement of processing and documentation is planned.
    • A "translation" table for right conversion of status entries from DiversityCollection to PLadias is provided.
    • new data export expected in January


TOP 6 To Dos and priorities

  • The obligatory paper we fixed in our project application is suggested to be published in Biodiversity Data Journal Data Papers. It should contain all we discussed today, describe the data pipelines and desribe the management of two kinds of checklist and different status systems. The draft of this paper should be written during the second half of next year.
  • Milan Štech plans a separate paper about the FSG project in one of the serials of ČBS (Preslia).
  • A presentation about first results of the FSG project in front of the Bayerische Botanische Gesellschaft should be done in 2021.



AOB

  • (Internal) documentation of FSG related data pipelines and data flows?###gehört das woanders hin?
  • Beginning of December is the term for first reports. The reports should be very short. The reports should be coordinated with Radka Bunešová and Katka Zemanová.
