The workflow has been designed in a way that, accepts input data in a recognized format, but originating from various sources (e.g. services, local user data sets), includes a number of graphical user interfaces to view and interact with the data, the output of each part of the workflow is compatible with the input of each part, implying that the user is free to choose a specific sequence of actions, allows for the use of custom-built as well as third-party tools applications and tools.<div> Developed by: Biodiversity Virtual e-Laboratory (BioVeL) (EU FP7 project)</div><div> Technology or platform: </div><div>The workflow has been developed to be run in the Taverna automated workflow environment.</div> Helpdesk VLIZ info@vliz.be https://metadatacatalogue.lifewatch.eu/geonetwork/srv/api/records/30557636-8632-4660-88d3-43c5bbaf44a4/attachments/Data%20refinement%20workflow%202.png workflow Taxonomic Name Resolution/Occurrence retrieval Taxonomic checklists web services for standardizing species lists and resolving synonyms: CoL, PESI, WoRMS, EDIT, and GBIF. Occurrence data is retrieved through GBIF. Geo-temporal data selection Spatial and temporal selection services are provided by the web-based BioSTIF client. Data quality checks/Filtering Open Refine is used for accessing local an external filtering and cleaning functionalities.
