<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-IE>Two Developer Positions available at GBIF<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-IE><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The GBIF Secretariat is seeking motivated and experienced
software developers for a <b>3-4 month consultancy</b> under the overall
supervision of the Head of Informatics.<span lang=EN-IE><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-IE><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-IE>GIS Services<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The appointed consultant will develop geospatial services
for species related data. To provide geospatial services, content from
various sources will be integrated into a spatial database and offered as OGC
web services provided by GeoServer along with custom search, browse and
discovery services to be developed in Java. Spatial data will be in the
form of point data, polygon data and raster formats, and integration of these
spatial data-types will be required to provide coherent services. <span
lang=EN-IE>Further information on the position is available on the GBIF news site
(</span><a
href="http://www.gbif.org/communications/news-and-events/showsingle/article/job-opening-gbif-software-developer-gis-services/">http://www.gbif.org/communications/news-and-events/showsingle/article/job-opening-gbif-software-developer-gis-services/</a>)
<span lang=EN-IE>together with instructions for submitting an application.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>GIS Client<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The appointed consultant will develop a web-based,
extensible GIS client that can be customised for different uses and distributed
freely. The primary use case is <i>a means of visualising information</i> about
biodiversity data from disparate sources delivered through standards-based web
services (e.g., Open Geospatial Consortium). A second use case is as a client
to a transactional OGC Web Feature Service, enabling updates to a geospatial
data store. Several datasets and services relating to African Protected Areas
will be used to develop a demonstration case. An important aspect of the work
will be preparing/packaging a toolkit, documenting its use, and developing a
tutorial. We are particularly interested in hearing from those with experience
in GeoExt, OpenLayers, Flex or other comparable toolkits/platforms. <span
