   Abstract Developing a predictive science of the biosphere depends heavily on the rapidly expanding biodiversity data that are commonly stored in biodiversity databases. Despite the proliferation of biodiversity databases, their independent operation has limited data discovery, comparison, and synthesis. Therefore, the biodiversity informatics community has called for improved alignment among these efforts to better catalog Earth's biodiversity. The primary challenges are incomplete knowledge of existing databases and incongruent taxonomic systems and data schemas. Addressing these issues will require development of a database registry, means to compare database contents, taxonomic harmonization, and tools that enable users to merge disparate databases based on their needs, all within a community of practice that enables people of various skill levels and roles to participate. We believe that synthesis and integration, driven by a growing and thriving community, will be the next stage of biodiversity informatics and will help unlock the full potential of biodiversity information.

5. A biodiversity dataset graph: DataONE

   https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3849494  

   Poelen, Jorrit H. (January 2020, Zenodo)

   {"Abstract":["A biodiversity dataset graph: DataONE<\/p>\n\nThe intended use of this archive is to facilitate (meta-)analysis of the Data Observation Network for Earth (DataONE). DataONE is a distributed infrastructure that provides information about earth observation data.<\/p>\n\nThis dataset provides versioned snapshots of the DataONE network as tracked by Preston [2] between 2018-11-06 and 2020-05-07 using "preston update -u https://dataone.org".<\/p>\n\nThe archive consists of 256 individual parts (e.g., preston-00.tar.gz, preston-01.tar.gz, ...) to allow for parallel file downloads. The archive contains three types of files: index files, provenance logs and data files. In addition, index files have been individually included in this dataset publication to facilitate remote access. Index files provide a way to links provenance files in time to establish a versioning mechanism. Provenance files describe how, when, what and where the DataONE content was retrieved. For more information, please visit https://preston.guoda.bio or https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1410543 .  <\/p>\n\nTo retrieve and verify the downloaded DataONE biodiversity dataset graph, first concatenate all the downloaded preston-*.tar.gz files (e.g., cat preston-*.tar.gz > preston.tar.gz). Then, extract the archives into a "data" folder. Alternatively, you can use the preston[2] command-line tool to "clone" this dataset using:<\/p>\n\n$$ java -jar preston.jar clone --remote https://zenodo.org/record/3849494/files<\/p>\n\nAfter that, verify the index of the archive by reproducing the following provenance log history:<\/p>\n\n$$ java -jar preston.jar history\n<0659a54f-b713-4f86-a917-5be166a14110> <http://purl.org/pav/hasVersion> <hash://sha256/8c67e0741d1c90db54740e08d2e39d91dfd73566ea69c1f2da0d9ab9780a9a9f> .\n<hash://sha256/3ed3acaca7ac57f546d0b8877c1927ab5e08c23eccaa8219600c59c77a72c685> <http://purl.org/pav/previousVersion> <hash://sha256/8c67e0741d1c90db54740e08d2e39d91dfd73566ea69c1f2da0d9ab9780a9a9f> .\n<hash://sha256/857753997a7595a1b372b05641b58a25d9408b7ff08d557ce1fe8b73e4bd383f> <http://purl.org/pav/previousVersion> <hash://sha256/3ed3acaca7ac57f546d0b8877c1927ab5e08c23eccaa8219600c59c77a72c685> .\n<hash://sha256/7ee0376f4c3f7aeeda36927a5211395e5da8201e810e8c7e638a0fe23d001e88> <http://purl.org/pav/previousVersion> <hash://sha256/857753997a7595a1b372b05641b58a25d9408b7ff08d557ce1fe8b73e4bd383f> .\n<hash://sha256/68b4974d8ab7c4c7a7a4305065839b60ba460aaa862590b34c67877738feba90> <http://purl.org/pav/previousVersion> <hash://sha256/7ee0376f4c3f7aeeda36927a5211395e5da8201e810e8c7e638a0fe23d001e88> .\n<hash://sha256/060a76d56255bf9482c951748c91291fddeeb20f180632132be1344e081b2372> <http://purl.org/pav/previousVersion> <hash://sha256/68b4974d8ab7c4c7a7a4305065839b60ba460aaa862590b34c67877738feba90> .\n<hash://sha256/29357bdfab4548025f8a5743301f5c3c9146fa436c39e3c9e019fb9409ac9c42> <http://purl.org/pav/previousVersion> <hash://sha256/060a76d56255bf9482c951748c91291fddeeb20f180632132be1344e081b2372> .\n<hash://sha256/3669cd95100d1d533eb8953ff4ec5092cbd8addb8879b3e6262191148a8a3ebb> <http://purl.org/pav/previousVersion> <hash://sha256/29357bdfab4548025f8a5743301f5c3c9146fa436c39e3c9e019fb9409ac9c42> .\n<hash://sha256/8dc1663299359d271cb1b4c14ad521d0f1be67743689dd18016543dc1e097efb> <http://purl.org/pav/previousVersion> <hash://sha256/3669cd95100d1d533eb8953ff4ec5092cbd8addb8879b3e6262191148a8a3ebb> .\n<hash://sha256/dc4903e8afee651db1d9bf509f20503bf9c8e89679c4bcffb46d5b97440cb6de> <http://purl.org/pav/previousVersion> <hash://sha256/8dc1663299359d271cb1b4c14ad521d0f1be67743689dd18016543dc1e097efb> .\n<hash://sha256/f3bed9db3092c744604df5f50248a2ec36e564fe78a65f45c4190283bd61c807> <http://purl.org/pav/previousVersion> <hash://sha256/dc4903e8afee651db1d9bf509f20503bf9c8e89679c4bcffb46d5b97440cb6de> .\n<hash://sha256/e3c7b3b14b2b792e3e2e560a1b2bef059ac93f777dee616b836317bc9cbfcbf7> <http://purl.org/pav/previousVersion> <hash://sha256/f3bed9db3092c744604df5f50248a2ec36e564fe78a65f45c4190283bd61c807> .\n<hash://sha256/631a4531e7bb052816d28454bbeec3428d5e7bfd1f148c4f21ce63a6cf86c650> <http://purl.org/pav/previousVersion> <hash://sha256/e3c7b3b14b2b792e3e2e560a1b2bef059ac93f777dee616b836317bc9cbfcbf7> .\n<hash://sha256/87de0898919d2212977a586965e930ae45bdd1366073591c808c208a635e2814> <http://purl.org/pav/previousVersion> <hash://sha256/631a4531e7bb052816d28454bbeec3428d5e7bfd1f148c4f21ce63a6cf86c650> .\n<hash://sha256/79ec3ee370a0d38311bc352af07a36380cd3aa04dc98154cf723bbc73d12ee77> <http://purl.org/pav/previousVersion> <hash://sha256/87de0898919d2212977a586965e930ae45bdd1366073591c808c208a635e2814> .\n<hash://sha256/e54b360a4ca84a4503e4c10a8a8cca062c130be7429c8fe6ea1e0e82fe113e12> <http://purl.org/pav/previousVersion> <hash://sha256/79ec3ee370a0d38311bc352af07a36380cd3aa04dc98154cf723bbc73d12ee77> .\n<hash://sha256/2910f784f84e112f124a56ce54bd06b76e510f90276629d2d144ce29e326d80f> <http://purl.org/pav/previousVersion> <hash://sha256/e54b360a4ca84a4503e4c10a8a8cca062c130be7429c8fe6ea1e0e82fe113e12> .\n<hash://sha256/bcb0bdff0689cfb06f586d057703e41d1c6ba409867232217081dd8cb5053c87> <http://purl.org/pav/previousVersion> <hash://sha256/2910f784f84e112f124a56ce54bd06b76e510f90276629d2d144ce29e326d80f> .\n<hash://sha256/a12f8c7fbf4fbfa71536c7e1b2614a35454dac6a7fe9e1cc0b4df41ab2269bef> <http://purl.org/pav/previousVersion> <hash://sha256/bcb0bdff0689cfb06f586d057703e41d1c6ba409867232217081dd8cb5053c87> .\n<hash://sha256/2b5c445f0b7b918c14a50de36e29a32854ed55f00d8639e09f58f049b85e50e3> <http://purl.org/pav/previousVersion> <hash://sha256/a12f8c7fbf4fbfa71536c7e1b2614a35454dac6a7fe9e1cc0b4df41ab2269bef> .<\/p>\n\nTo check the integrity of the extracted archive, confirm that each line produce by the command "preston verify" produces lines as shown below, with each line including "CONTENT_PRESENT_VALID_HASH".
