Abstract

In April 2021, a Biodiversity Information for Development (BID) project was launched to deliver a regional data platform of West and Central African herbaria, which just concluded in April 2023. A dataset containing 168,545 herbarium specimens from 6 different countries: Togo, Gabon, Ivory Coast, Benin, Guinea Conakry and Cameroon, is now visible on the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) website and will be regularly updated. A checklist datatset (Radji 2023a) and an occurrence dataset (Radji 2023b) obtained from herbarium parts are also available on GBIF. In addition, a Living Atlases portal for herbaria in West and Central Africa has been created to allow users to search, display, filter, and download these data. This application reuses open source modules developed by the Atlas of Living Australia (ALA) community (Morin et al. 2021). In addition to that, the RIHA platform (Réseau Informatique des Herbiers d'Afrique / Digital Network of African Herbaria) enables herbarium administrators to manage their own data. Thanks to all these tools, the workflow (Fig. 1) for data publication on GBIF is carried out regularly and easily and the addition of new member herbaria from West and Central Africa can be easily incorporated.

西非和中非植物标本区域数据平台

2021年4月，启动了生物多样性信息促进发展(BID)项目，以提供西非和中非植物标本区域数据平台，该项目于2023年4月刚刚结束。一个包含来自6个不同国家(多哥、加蓬、科特迪瓦、贝宁、几内亚、科纳克里和喀麦隆)的168,545个植物标本的数据集现在可以在全球生物多样性信息设施(GBIF)网站上看到，并将定期更新。从植物标本馆部分获得的清单数据集(Radji 2023a)和事件数据集(Radji 2023b)也可在GBIF上获得。此外，还为西非和中非的植物标本馆创建了一个“生活地图集”门户，允许用户搜索、显示、过滤和下载这些数据。该应用程序重用了澳大利亚生活图集(ALA)社区开发的开源模块(Morin et al. 2021)。除此之外，RIHA平台(非洲植物标本室数字网络)使植物标本室管理员能够管理他们自己的数据。多亏了所有这些工具，GBIF数据发布的工作流程(图1)可以定期轻松地进行，并且可以轻松地加入来自西非和中非的新成员植物标本馆。
