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