Abstract: 
In an ever-changing world, field surveys, inventories and monitoring data are essential to predict biodiversity responses to global drivers, such as land-use and climate change.
This understanding builds the basis to timely conservation management. However, due to funding constraints, biodiversity data are usually collected over short periods of time, hampering analyses of long-term trends and predictions of changes.
Within the scope of the HMC, the ADVANCE project – Advanced metadata standards for biodiversity survey and monitoring data: supporting of research and conservation – aimed at supporting rich metadata generation with interoperable metadata standards and semantic artefacts that facilitate data access, integration and reuse across terrestrial, freshwater and marine realms.
Our mission is to facilitate the discovery, access, machine-readability, and reuse of biodiversity monitoring data across and beyond the Helmholtz Association. We revised, adapted and expanded existing metadata schemas, vocabularies and thesauri to build a FAIR metadata schema and a metadata entry form built on it for users to provide their metadata instances focused on biodiversity monitoring data. The schema is FAIR because it is both machine-interpretable and follows domain-relevant community standards. 
This presentation provides a general overview of the project results and instructions on how to access, re-use and complete the metadata form.

Background Information:
The Helmholtz Metadata Collaboration (HMC) invites you to engage in an exciting series of talks on FAIR Data through the HMC FAIR Friday lecture series. Renowned experts from around the world will present key aspects of FAIR data, offering deep dives into the topic and sparking discussions on best practices and new perspectives. HMC FAIR Friday is aimed at professionals in research data management as well as researchers from all disciplines of the Helmholtz Association and beyond, who want to learn more about the importance and implementation of FAIR principles.
