Abstract

Abstract Linking historical and contemporary geographic information in biodiversity data is a useful approach to approximate species population. However, one of the prominent factors that causes ambiguity in geographic information, and hinders the linking process, is the way sovereignty information is used. While historical biodiversity records often use sovereignties as proxies for geographic information about a species, contemporary records do not. This study proposes a conceptual model that incorporates sovereignty information in biodiversity data to foster the linkage between historical and contemporary geographical information. The model comprises two phases: the first phase relates tangible data sources and core components needed to construct historical sovereignty taxonomies; and the second phase is a process model to align historical sovereignty taxonomies with contemporary taxonomies in four phases. The output of the model presents all possible sovereignties that a geographic entity belongs to based on the degree of congruence between the historical and contemporary taxonomies. The contributions of this work are threefold: (1) making all possible ambiguities in historical geographic information explicit in biodiversity data; (2) bringing attention to the modeling choices that domain experts have to make when deciding which sovereignty a place name belongs to; and (3) extending and improving current geo‐referencing practices.
在谁的羽翼下?将历史主权信息纳入生物多样性数据的概念模型
链接生物多样性数据中的历史和当代地理信息是估算物种种群的有效方法。然而,造成地理信息歧义并阻碍链接过程的一个突出因素是主权信息的使用方式。虽然历史上的生物多样性记录经常使用主权作为物种地理信息的代理,但当代的记录却不是这样。本研究提出了一个将主权信息纳入生物多样性数据的概念模型,以促进历史和当代地理信息之间的联系。该模型包括两个阶段:第一阶段涉及构建历史主权分类法所需的有形数据源和核心组件;第二阶段是将历史主权分类法与当代主权分类法相结合的过程模型,分为四个阶段。该模型的输出基于历史和当代分类法之间的一致性程度,呈现了一个地理实体所属的所有可能的主权。这项工作的贡献有三个方面:(1)在生物多样性数据中明确了历史地理信息中所有可能存在的模糊性;(2)关注领域专家在确定地名归属主权时必须做出的建模选择;(3)扩展和改进当前的地理参考实践。

期刊介绍: The Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology (JASIST) is a leading international forum for peer-reviewed research in information science. For more than half a century, JASIST has provided intellectual leadership by publishing original research that focuses on the production, discovery, recording, storage, representation, retrieval, presentation, manipulation, dissemination, use, and evaluation of information and on the tools and techniques associated with these processes. The Journal welcomes rigorous work of an empirical, experimental, ethnographic, conceptual, historical, socio-technical, policy-analytic, or critical-theoretical nature. JASIST also commissions in-depth review articles (“Advances in Information Science”) and reviews of print and other media.
