GBIF DADI Work Programme
1. Establish the data standards and interchange
mechanisms required to integrate species-level and
specimen-level data within the GBIF Network
2. Identify and develop the foundational components of the
network as early as possible
3. Provide tool kits to assist node managers to bring their
databases online as rapidly as possible
4. Promote a community (and open-source) development
model for GBIF components
GBIF Standards Requirements
Requirements for 2003
• Federated Data Access (DiGIR)
• Collection Data Exchange Schema (ABCD)
• Name Data Exchange Schema (Taxonomic Names)
• Geographical Services (Spatial Data)
• Resource Metadata
Future requirements:
• Structured Descriptive Data (SDD)
Also required:
• Description of user requirements for GBIF network
