The catalogue of life : biodiversity resource and e-science gateway

Objective

EuroCat will establish the infrastructure to collate and sustain a comprehensive catalogue of organisms, the EuroCat Catalogue of Life, using existing databases from taxonomic experts around Europe. EuroCat will display a uniform and validated synonymic checklist for those groups of plants, animals, fungi and microorganisms currently available, including indigenous and non-indigenous species in Europe. In this project it will reach critical mass, and go on to become complete for known organisms over six years. It will operate as a desktop biodiversity resource on the Internet and GRID, as an e-science gateway, serving professionals and members of the public, and serving national, European and global biodiversity agencies including GBIF. The gateway will access biodiversity data in other systems around the world. It will be a distributed infrastructure, building on existing European databases and expertise.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: https://op.europa.eu/en/web/eu-vocabularies/euroscivoc.
