Please click here to contribute to the survey, which closes 2 June 2008.
The major objective of this survey is to understand the extent of the universe of potentially useful, sharable observational biodiversity datasets and the data owners responsible for them.
The survey is also intended to
- discover the current barriers to the exchange/sharing these observational data sets, and
- determine the additions/modifications to GBIF's informatics infrastructure needed to facilitate this exchange/sharing through the GBIF network.
The survey requests your permission (if you are authorized to grant it) to publish the attributes and URL of any publicly available as well off-line data sets you are reporting. This is because GBIF may develop a public directory of such observational data sets.
Please help circulate this announcement to other potential respondents.
