Projektin yksityiskohdat

Kuvaus (abstrakti)

The research infrastructure (RI) ‘Finnish Biodiversity Information Facility – FinBIF’ (www.laji.fi/en) accelerates the digitisation,
mobilisation, and open-access distribution of biodiversity data to support research, governance, education, and business. The proposed
project constitutes the third construction cycle of FinBIF. The project’s theme is ‘Expansion, Integration, and Development of AI-Based
Research Services’. Data mobilisation will be enhanced by digitising two more natural history collections, completing the reference
library of DNA barcodes of Finnish species and building a trait database of Finnish species. FinBIF will be integrated with other RIs in
the environmental domain through the Finnish Ecosystem Observatory. AI will be applied to enriching FinBIF-mediated data, extracting
further information from it and providing research services for automated species identification. FinBIF enables scientific breakthrough
at a rate matching the urgency of saving biodiversity.
