Data Management and Quality Control - eBMS Webinar 28May2026

This webinar focuses on key aspects of the data management system and quality control integrated within the eBMS. We presented the various elements built into the data systems and the data pipeline that ensure the quality and integrity of the eBMS database. The quality and integrity of data collected across monitoring schemes are paramount for the calculation of indices and the production of multispecies indicators such as the Grassland Butterfly Indicator. Beyond sharing the latest updates, these events also provide a valuable opportunity to discuss specific questions and challenges. 0:09:04 The process for regular data harmonisation and integration across platforms (National database to eBMS): French experience, OPIE - Alexia and Adrien 0:27:13 How to migrate an existing data system to the online eBMS system: Irish experience, National Biodiversity Data Centre - Jon and Michelle The latest improvements and updates on the Butterfly Count app and the web portal: 0:56:43 Validation process at the eBMS website (David Roy) 1:08:04 User interface - updates Butterfly Count app (Cristina Sevilleja) 1:20:11 eBMS data harmonisation for regional and continental analyses Quality control, with a reflection on how this can be applied to National GBIs: Reto Schmucki 1:32:55 eBMS vision for the future: Governance, data agreement, infrastructure, sharing and integration: Chris van Sway Any suggestions or questions can be addressed to: ebms@ceh.ac.uk
