The goal of this workshop will be development of an integrative roadmap for the coming decade of biodiversity informatics developments, and agreement to a collaborative plan of action.</p> 2009-05-31T22:00:00Z eBiosphere steering committee GBIF Secretariat GBIF Secretariat Event html 2009 eng e-Biosphere 09: The International Conference on Biodiversity Informatics, London GBIF Secretariat GBIF
