<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-IE>Developer Position available at GBIF<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>The GBIF
Secretariat is seeking a motivated and experienced software developer for a <b>15
month consultancy</b> to work on the development of one of GBIF’s key
infrastructure components: the GBIF Metadata Catalogue.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>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 (<a
href="http://www.gbif.org/News/NEWS1234799445"><span style='color:windowtext'>http://www.gbif.org/News/NEWS1234799445</span></a>).
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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

available on the GBIF news site (<a
href="http://www.gbif.org/News/NEWS1248872610">http://www.gbif.org/News/NEWS1248872610</a>
