[tdwg] Developer Position available at GBIF

[Éamonn Ó Tuama]

Developer Position available at GBIF

The GBIF Secretariat is seeking a motivated and experienced software
developer for a 15 month consultancy to work on the development of one of
GBIF’s key infrastructure components: the GBIF Metadata Catalogue.

The GBIF Metadata Catalogue will play a key role in a greatly expanded GBIF
network featuring numerous providers (publishers) and consumers of data
where the key activities of inventory, discovery and access to data need to
be well coordinated through provision of registries and metadata catalogues.
A Metadata Implementation Framework Task Group is currently preparing a
report with a set of recommendations based on the terms of reference
provided by GBIF ( <http://www.gbif.org/News/NEWS1234799445>
http://www.gbif.org/News/NEWS1234799445). The goal is to ensure that the
GBIF network follows best practices in deployment of metadata systems and
that the metadata requirements are in place to support the “technical,
social and policy framework” for publication of primary biodiversity data
that is being addressed by the separate, parallel-running GBIF Data
Publishing Framework Task Group. The person appointed will be instrumental
in delivering the metadata catalogue system for the GBIF network.

Further information on the position is available on the GBIF news site
(http://www.gbif.org/News/NEWS1248872610 ) together with instructions for
submitting an application.
