Geonomia
Geonomia is a project to discover collecting trips in GBIF-mediated preserved specimen occurrence data, as a step towards effective cross-institutional georeferencing.
About
It is an entry into the 2026 GBIF Ebbe Nielsen Challenge, and is being developed by a team from RBG Kew (Nicky Nicolson, Steve Bachman and Ashleigh Whittaker) plus input and experience from the wider biodiversity informatics community.How to use
This site site shows the results of a run-through of the geonomia process for botanical specimens collected in Malaysia, and is intended to demonstrate the potential of the approach. You can:Explore the specimen occurrence data by listing all occurrences assigned to a particular trip or viewing a specific occurrence that has been assigned to a collecting trip e.g. Beaman 10725
Explore the collecting trips by listing all the trips recognised in the dataset, or by viewing the details of a particular trip, e.g. Chew 1964
Explore the schema for the underlying database and use some pre-defined queries:
