- ItemBGIS, working with users and data partners to deliver an improved service(2017-06-21)It has been a year since the new BGIS design has been launched. And in that time, the BGIS team, along with Compass Informatics, has listened closely to the recommendations of website users, environmental consultants and data partners, to create a website that is intuitive and aligns with their needs. New tools, functionality and web pages that allow users to easily locate current datasets for their area, will be presented. A key highlight for the BGIS team is the updated National Vegetation Map (VEGMAP) Project pages. The new web pages now provide users with clear guidelines on submitting proposed changes to the VEGMAP, and clear guidelines on how to cite the VEGMAP products. This, together with the availability of vegetation type descriptions and information on taxa associated with each vegetation type, and the CarryMap app, has greatly assisted environmental consultants in making informed land-use decisions. Through website statistics and user queries, we will also give a quick glimpse into how well the 2017 Western Cape Biodiversity Spatial Plan, which has been available on the site since April, has been adopted.
- ItemBGIS: The road ahead(SANBI, 2015-06-26)The BGIS website (http://bgis.sanbi.org) is a core part of the South African National Biodiversity Institute’s identity. The website, which has been around since 2005, aims to assist users to make informed land-use decisions by providing free access to biodiversity-related spatial datasets, and by providing users with the basic tools to view, analyse and interrogate these layers. This presentation looks at the road ahead. It will touch on SANBI’s vision to redesign its current information environments and create an integrated National Biodiversity Information System (NBIS), and will focus on how BGIS fits into this overall infrastructure evolution. The presentation will discuss mobile applications, moving away from Silverlight Viewer to HTML5, integrating species localities, and utilizing partner organizations rest points to limit the burden on SANBI’s servers. SANBI would also like to use this opportunity to obtain feedback and suggestions from partner organizations and stakeholders.
