Description

Makiling Biodiversity Information System (MakiBIS) is an online portal of diverse species composition of Mt. Makiling lifted from various published materials. It serves a single repository of biodiversity species documented within MFR that allows user to readily access available information of each taxon via internet. The system shared the information globally-based on standards of Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) using Darwin Core platform, particularly the taxonomic information of the species recorded. MakiBIS is envisioned to be a prototype system that calls for an initiative to have nationwide biodiversity information system known as Philippine Biodiversity Information System (PhilBIS) through interagency and multidisciplinary partnership. The creation of a database system released in the worldwide web provides avenue among users in the world to view and appreciate the ecological importance of biodiversity in any given country.

Data Records

The data in this checklist resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 250 records.

1 extension data tables also exist. An extension record supplies extra information about a core record. The number of records in each extension data table is illustrated below.

Project Data

This project aims to extend the efforts in Mt. Makiling (MaKiBIS) to other study areas including Macolod Corridor, Mt Banahaw, and Mt. Guiting-guiting environs in Laguna, Quezon and Romblon.

It serves a single repository of biodiversity species documented within MFR that allows user to readily access available information of each taxon via internet. The system shared the information globally-based on standards of Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) using Darwin Core platform, particularly the taxonomic information of the species recorded.

Title Making Biodiversity Information System (MAKIBIS)
Funding Funded by Commission on Higher Education (CHED) and UP Center for Integrative Development Studies (UP CIDS).
Design Description This project aims to collate and organize all information on Mt. Makiling biodiversity, develop an online biodiversity information system aimed to be shared globally by following the standards of Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF); to create database application software which will be utilized to organize both the existing and future information of Mt. Makiling biodiversity; and to develop a software that will also serve as the prototype system of the Philippine Biodiversity Information System (PhilBIS).
