GBIF making the search for biodiversity research resources easier
Date:12/5/2007

t is being undertaken at the Royal Botanical Garden Edinburgh, with Roger Hyam as project lead. Hyam said "I have no doubt that developing the Index will make a significant contribution to the understanding and sustainable utilisation of the world's biodiversity".

Biodiversity Information Standards (TDWG) specifications for data and metadata will facilitate the building of the Biodiversity Collections Index by ensuring that the information is accessible to all potential users.

The Biodiversity Collections Index will enable people to locate materials they need for research more quickly than is currently possible, and enable them to easily report where their own materials are deposited so that others can re-use them. This will aid research that will contribute to sustainability and other important biodiversity issues.
