Exercise 1

Planning

The team needs to develop a sustainable workflow to digitize literature resources, extract any valuable biodiversity information on them and publish it online via GBIF. They need to develop a plan that can be sustained in the future once the funding from the national library association is over.

The scenario section of this use case includes a brief description of the workflow conceived by the deputy director. Based on the workflow and the accompanying text complete the following:

  1. Identify the different stakeholders participating in this project

  2. Identify their affiliation and assign each of them to a stakeholder group

  3. Identify the roles associated to them and assign the tasks for which they are currently responsible

  4. Perform a critical analysis of the workflow, identify potential risks and gaps, and suggest ways to improve the workflow, maximize the efficiency of the digitization project and produce data of the highest quality possible.

  5. Use the exercise sheet to provide your answers.
