WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:15.000 I am the leader, can you hear me? 00:15.000 --> 00:28.000 I am the leader of the beams, the biodiversity information management system. 00:28.000 --> 00:35.000 Let me start with the challenge we are addressing. 00:35.000 --> 00:39.000 By the diversity data exists, in fact there is a wealth of it. 00:39.000 --> 00:44.000 Today we have running instance across Africa and beyond. 00:44.000 --> 00:51.000 In South Africa, we serve as the national first water biodiversity platform. 00:51.000 --> 00:54.000 Let me show you what beams look like in practice. 00:54.000 --> 00:59.000 This is the epist, our first and most mature deployment. 00:59.000 --> 01:01.000 What you see is the landing page. 01:01.000 --> 01:03.000 You can see there are millions of records right now. 01:03.000 --> 01:07.000 It is still the size to actively use. 01:07.000 --> 01:11.000 Here is the map view of the epist. 01:11.000 --> 01:14.000 Those dots are the occurrence data. 01:14.000 --> 01:18.000 Species observation across South Africa. 01:19.000 --> 01:27.000 You click any dot and you get the site details, coordinates, location, description, ecosystem type. 01:27.000 --> 01:33.000 Below that, the biodiversity data, what fish into the bridge plan, algae, birds, 01:33.000 --> 01:38.000 will found and that is the same site. 01:38.000 --> 01:44.000 You can see also occurrence status, conservation status and endomism. 01:44.000 --> 01:51.000 In beams you can also filter data to query specific subset of the data set. 01:51.000 --> 01:56.000 The platform provides multiple filtering options. 01:56.000 --> 02:02.000 I'm going to show you some of the filter quickly. 02:02.000 --> 02:07.000 The biodiversity model tab lets you filter by the taxonomic groups. 02:07.000 --> 02:13.000 If you interest it in fish specifically, select that group and the system will limit the results 02:13.000 --> 02:15.000 to the fish records. 02:15.000 --> 02:24.000 The map and the data tab will update to show only records from your biodiversity group. 02:24.000 --> 02:31.000 A temporal filter control of the time extent of your data query. 02:31.000 --> 02:35.000 And special filter lets you query data by location. 02:35.000 --> 02:39.000 Beams includes many special filter options. 02:39.000 --> 02:45.000 You can see it is filtering by South African province and other special filter, 02:45.000 --> 02:48.000 good catchment, collision and other stuff. 02:48.000 --> 02:59.000 And admin is fragile can also upload custom layers and make them available as special filters for the specific needs. 02:59.000 --> 03:04.000 Species attribute filter lets you query based on the conservation status and also the endomism. 03:04.000 --> 03:12.000 And origin of the species. 03:12.000 --> 03:19.000 User interested in a particular species can use the search part to enter the specific species name. 03:19.000 --> 03:25.000 And the system will use autocomplete to find the species. 03:25.000 --> 03:29.000 Here is where the system becomes really useful for the decision maker. 03:29.000 --> 03:32.000 You can combine multiple filters. 03:32.000 --> 03:40.000 And then for example, show me all the endangered species species in the western cap that was survey in the last ten years. 03:40.000 --> 03:47.000 Each filter works together to narrow your results. 03:47.000 --> 03:55.000 A data summary can be a few in the side overview panel and a full data breakdown is available for other data dashboard. 03:55.000 --> 03:59.000 There's both content details of the species and the metadata. 03:59.000 --> 04:08.000 You can also see the charts for the occurrence breaking down by an amism conservation status and the biotopes. 04:08.000 --> 04:16.000 All of this includes an option to download a spreadsheet of the raw data for further analysis. 04:17.000 --> 04:20.000 All data can be downloaded as spreadsheets. 04:20.000 --> 04:28.000 The spreadsheet contains comprehensive attribute of each record from coordinate, special records, business name and all of that data. 04:28.000 --> 04:33.000 This gives you the raw data in the form that you can work with your analysis tool. 04:33.000 --> 04:36.000 Quickly back to the map view. 04:36.000 --> 04:43.000 You have the layer selector as well that you can use to apply special layer for visualization. 04:43.000 --> 04:48.000 You can overlay slides, rivers and other constructs to all layers. 04:48.000 --> 04:55.000 This layer also process and display as PM tiles so that they're faster load and efficient to render. 04:55.000 --> 05:02.000 Atmins can also upload and style custom layer in the side. 05:02.000 --> 05:07.000 So, we've, like I said, it's just one side is deployed in multiple locations. 05:07.000 --> 05:11.000 Let me quickly show you the other running instance. 05:11.000 --> 05:16.000 We have sun part is for the South African national park. 05:16.000 --> 05:21.000 And we have our base for the run render, biotopeicity information system. 05:21.000 --> 05:25.000 We have careful for wetlands. 05:25.000 --> 05:29.000 And we have Africa is our continental scale deployment. 05:29.000 --> 05:35.000 And this is the platform provides open first water parity city across. 05:41.000 --> 05:46.000 Thank you for watching.
