Catálogo Taxonômico da Fauna do Brasil: setting the baseline knowledge on the animal diversity in Brazil

The limited temporal completeness and taxonomic accuracy of species lists, made available in a traditional manner in scientific publications, has always represented a problem. These lists are invariably limited to a few taxonomic groups and do not represent up-to-date knowledge of all species and classifications. In this context, the Brazilian megadiverse fauna is no exception, and the Catálogo Taxonômico da Fauna do Brasil (CTFB) (http://fauna.jbrj.gov.br/), made public in 2015, represents a database on biodiversity anchored on a list of valid and expertly recognized scientific names of animals in Brazil. The CTFB is updated in near real time by a team of more than 800 specialists. By January 1, 2024, the CTFB compiled 133,691 nominal species, with 125,138 that were considered valid. Most of the valid species were arthropods (82.3%, with more than 102,000 species) and chordates (7.69%, with over 11,000 species). These taxa were followed by a cluster composed of Mollusca (3,567 species), Platyhelminthes (2,292 species), Annelida (1,833 species), and Nematoda (1,447 species). All remaining groups had less than 1,000 species reported in Brazil, with Cnidaria (831 species), Porifera (628 species), Rotifera (606 species), and Bryozoa (520 species) representing those with more than 500 species. Analysis of the CTFB database can facilitate and direct efforts towards the discovery of new species in Brazil, but it is also fundamental in providing the best available list of valid nominal species to users, including those in science, health, conservation efforts, and any initiative involving animals. The importance of the CTFB is evidenced by the elevated number of citations in the scientific literature in diverse areas of biology, law, anthropology, education, forensic science, and veterinary science, among others

inteligência coletiva e ferramentas web 2.0: a busca da gestão da informação e do conhecimento em organizações

O artigo aborda, por meio de uma revisão de literatura, quais ferramentas Web 2.0 podem ser utilizadas na criação de conhecimento para que as organizações busquem a Inteligência Coletiva por meio da aprendizagem organizacional, enfatizando o uso dos blogs e wikis neste processo. Analisa como ocorre a gestão da informação e do conhecimento no ambiente 2.0 durante o processo de criação de conhecimento por meio das ferramentas Web 2.0. Conclui que a criação e o compartilhamento de conhecimento por meio das ferramentas Web 2.0 requerem dos profissionais da informação novas posturas, novas habilidades e novas competências para que possam auxiliar a organização na busca da Inteligência Coletiva para que ela se torne mais competitiva
