| description | The curation of biological digital data or biocuration is the activity of organizing, representing and making biological information accessible to human beings through computers. Among its tasks are the organization, standardization, normalization, classification, annotation and analysis of information. The National System of Information on Biodiversity (SNIB) from the National Commission for Knowledge and Use of Biodiversity (CONABIO) integrates information of about six million records of biological organisms and observations mainly from zoological collections and herbaria in Mexico. To manage this information CONABIO has established quality control mechanisms of the data that are included in the SNIB, that allows to integrate the information of different sources and make it consistent and interoperable with other information systems. This work has the purpose of exposing the importance of biocuration of biodiversity databases, explaining the curating process carried out in Biotica©, which is CONABIO´s Information System, exemplifying some of the most common errors that occur in biological data such as: omission, typographical, contextual, redundancy, convention, uniformity and consistency, presenting some solutions, and discussing the importance of research and teaching of biocuration for biologists of 21st century. |

La curación de datos biológicos digitales o biocuración es la actividad de organizar, representar y hacer que la información biológica esté accesible para los seres humanos a través de las computadoras. Entre sus tareas están la organización, estandarización, normalización, clasificación, anotación y análisis de la información. El Sistema Nacional de Información sobre Biodiversidad (SNIB) de la Comisión Nacional para el Conocimiento y Uso de la Biodiversidad (CONABIO) integra la información referente a cerca de seis millones de registros de ejemplares y observaciones biológicas provenientes principalmente de las colecciones zoológicas y herbarios de México. Para administrar esa información la CONABIO ha establecido mecanismos de control de calidad de los datos que ingresan al SNIB que permiten integrar la información proveniente de diferentes fuentes y hacerla consistente e interoperable con otros sistemas de información. Se expone la importancia de la biocuración de bases de datos de biodiversidad, se explica el proceso de curación llevado a cabo en el sistema Biótica© de CONABIO, se dan algunos ejemplos de los errores más comunes que se presentan en los datos biológicos como: omisión, tipográficos, contextuales, redundancia, convención, uniformidad y congruencia; se presentan algunas soluciones, y se discute sobre la importancia de la investigación y enseñanza de la biocuración para los biólogos del siglo XXI.
