GrassPortal - how it's all fitting together


Was asked to give a talk about GrassPortal at the JISC Annual Conference a couple of weeks ago.  It seemed to go down well, and the full presentation should be up on the JISC site shortly. Will link to it in a future entry but, for now, wanted to share one particular slide from the talk.  It's a new schematic of how the GrassPortal project is all fitting together.

The grass phylogeny from the GrassWeb project at Lausanne links together the species names and descriptions from Kew. These species names, in turn, link together the species occurrence data from GBIF.  And each of these occurrences maps onto multiple environmental datasets. Hopefully the picture should make this clearer!
