CBOLs Underlying Principles

• Coordination/Facilitation of Bottom-Up activities
• Respond to taxonomists, other disciplines,
  applied user communities
• Minimalism (scientific) fewest possible regions
• Minimalisim (organizational) build on existing
  activities rather than constructing new ones
• Standardization, cost-effectiveness
• Global participation
• Tangible, realistic goals, near-term results

Knowledge Management

• The Big Shopping List Species and their
  geographic ranges
• Overlap How many samples are needed per species
  per geographic region?
• Underlap How to cover undersampled regions and
  species?
• Coordination How to monitor progress, coverage,
  lack of coverage?
