Open Source Spatial Tools for Biodiversity and Environmental Data...
summary
The Atlas of Living Australia aggregates biodiversity records, enriches each occurrence by intersecting it with 500 spatial layers, reconciles names with a taxonomic engine, and runs about 100 data quality tests to flag fitness for purpose. Data ingest tools include Darwin Core, Track and DigiVol, storage uses Cassandra + Solr, and a public API (~100 services) feeds the Spatial Portal with ~17 analysis tools including MaxEnt and an ala4R client, and the pipeline runs in production but struggles with heterogeneous layer licensing and scaling.
