Stan Blum is a zoologist by training, but since 1990 has been working full-time in biodiversity informatics – the application of information technologies to biodiversity science. The two most important themes in his work are designing data management systems, standards, and architectures that support information integration across workgroups, data types, scientific disciplines, and organizations. He has been an active participant in two international organizations dedicated to biodiversity informatics, the
Taxonomic Databases Working Group (TDWG) and the
Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF). Most recently he has been working on the Catalog of Ants and the Global Names Architecture for the taxonomic names of organisms.
