Description
The Ad hoc checklist of alien species in Belgium is a species checklist dataset published by the Research Institute of Nature and Forest (INBO). It was specifically created for the TrIAS project (Tracking Invasive Alien Species, http://trias-project.be) to account for gaps in the alien species coverage in other species checklists for Belgium and mainly includes taxonomic groups and newly introduced species not covered elsewhere (yet). Due to its ad hoc nature, the list might change substantially over time. Here it is published as a standardized Darwin Core Archive and includes for each species: the scientific name, higher classification and stable taxon identifier (in the taxon core), the (confidence regarding the) presence of the species in Belgium (and its regions), the date of first introduction and last assessment (in the distribution extension), coarse habitat information (in the species profile extension), the pathway(s) of introduction, native range(s) and invasion stage in Belgium (in the description extension), and an overview of the consulted literature for each taxon (in the literature references extension). Issues with the dataset can be reported at https://github.com/trias-project/ad-hoc-checklist
We have released this dataset to the public domain under a Creative Commons Zero waiver. We would appreciate it if you follow the INBO norms for data use (https://www.inbo.be/en/norms-data-use) when using the data. If you have any questions regarding this dataset, don't hesitate to contact us via the contact information provided in the metadata or via opendata@inbo.be.
This dataset was published as open data for the TrIAS project (Tracking Invasive Alien Species http://trias-project.be, Vanderhoeven et al. 2017), with technical support provided by the Research Institute for Nature and Forest (INBO). It is selected as one of the authoritative sources for the compilation of a unified and reproducible checklist of alien species in Belgium.

Couverture géographique
This checklist covers species that are non-native in Belgium. The aim of the checklist is to provide information on species that are not (yet) covered by other checklists, so it is not meant to be comprehensive. For some taxa, information is included on its presence in Flanders, Wallonia and the Brussels Capital Region (the three main political regions in Belgium).
| Enveloppe géographique | Sud Ouest [49,49, 2,53], Nord Est [51,51, 6,41] |

Couverture taxonomique
This checklist includes over 250 alien species from 4 kingdoms. Arthropods constitute the largest proportion of taxa, followed by spiders and mammals.
| Kingdom | Plantae, Animalia, Fungi, Chromista |

Données sur le projet
Imagine a future where dynamically, from year to year, we can track the progression of alien species (AS), identify emerging species, assess their current and future risk and timely inform policy in a seamless data-driven workflow. One that is built on open science and open data infrastructures. By using international biodiversity standards and facilities, we would ensure interoperability, repeatability and sustainability. This would make the process adaptable to future requirements in an evolving IAS policy landscape both locally and internationally. The project Tracking Invasive Alien Species (TrIAS) aims to do this for Belgium. For a full project description, see Vanderhoeven et al. (2017, https://doi.org/10.3897/rio.3.e13414).

| Description du domaine d'étude / de recherche | Belgium. |
| Description du design | The project builds on two components: 1) The establishment of a data mobilization framework for alien species data from diverse data sources and 2) the development of data-driven procedures for risk evaluation based on risk modelling, risk mapping and risk assessment. TrIAS uses facilities from the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF, http://www.gbif.org), standards from the Biodiversity Information Standards organization (TDWG, http://www.tdwg.org) and expertise from the Open science lab for biodiversity (https://oscibio.inbo.be) to create and facilitate a systematic workflow. Alien species data are gathered from a large set of regional, national and international initiatives, including citizen science data, with a wide taxonomic scope from marine, terrestrial and freshwater environments. Observation data are funnelled in repeatable ways to GBIF. In parallel, a Belgian checklist of alien species is established, benefiting from various taxonomic and project-based checklists foreseen for GBIF publication. |

Méthodes d'échantillonnage
Data for this checklist are compiled by directly contacting specialists of underrepresented taxonomic groups and scanning online databases and published but unstandardized species checklists for alien species in Belgium. The dataset also includes information previously gathered for the state of biodiversity in Flanders (incl. De Bruyn 2005, De Bruyn et al. 2007, Dumortier et al. 2007 & 2008, Adriaens et al. 2010, Demolder et al. 2017). The checklist is managed in a Google Spreadsheet (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LeXXbry2ArK2rngsmFjz_xErwE1KwQ8ujtvHNmTVA6E/edit?usp=sharing) where we aim to collect to following information: for taxa: scientific name, higher classification, taxon rank, and nomenclatural code; for distributions: location, country (BE), occurrence status, first and last observation date, and degree of establishment; for species properties: native range, (standardized) introduction pathway and realm (terrestrial, marine, freshwater); and the source on which this information is based. Data are added and verified by different people.
| Etendue de l'étude | The TrIAS project (Tracking Invasive Alien Species, http://trias-project.be) creates a unified and reproducible checklist of alien species in Belgium from published authoritative species checklists. This ad hoc checklist was created to account for gaps in the alien species coverage in those checklists and mainly includes taxonomic groups and newly introduced species not covered elsewhere (yet). |

Description des étapes de la méthode:
- The source data for this standardized checklist is a Google Spreadsheet, maintained by the Research Institute of Nature and Forest (INBO) and updated regularly at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LeXXbry2ArK2rngsmFjz_xErwE1KwQ8ujtvHNmTVA6E/edit?usp=sharing.
- We developed a RMarkdown script to document and perform the transformation of the data to Darwin Core, which includes the following steps:
- Download the source data as a csv file that is versioned on a GitHub repository (https://github.com/trias-project/ad-hoc-checklist). See https://trias-project.github.io/ad-hoc-checklist for an introduction to this repository and the mapping of this dataset.
- Perform some basic data cleaning of the raw data.
- Generate stable and unique identifiers for each taxon (taxonID).
- Create a taxon core file (http://rs.gbif.org/core/dwc_taxon.xml), with information about the higher classification.
- Create a literature references extension file (http://rs.gbif.org/extension/gbif/1.0/references.xml), with information about the consulted literature for each taxon.
- Create a distribution extension file (http://rs.gbif.org/extension/gbif/1.0/distribution.xml), including the cleaning of date information.
- Create a species profile extension file (http://rs.gbif.org/extension/gbif/1.0/speciesprofile.xml), with coarse habitat information.
- Create a description extension file (http://rs.gbif.org/extension/gbif/1.0/description.xml), with standardized pathway of introduction (using the pathway vocabulary from the Convention on Biological Diversity (2014)), native range (using the WGSRPD vocabulary from Brummitt (2001) where applicable), and invasion stage (based on Blackburn et al. (2011)).
- The resulting Darwin Core data files are uploaded to the INBO IPT and documented with metadata.
- The dataset is published and registered with GBIF.
