Recommendations of the GBIF Multimedia Resources Task Group

Abstract

The Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) recogises the need for Primary Biodiversity Data and Information to extend beyond its current focus of specimen and observations based data records. With GBIF’s renewed target of facilitating access to an ever increasing number of resources of “fit-for-use” primary biodiversity data, it is imperative to explore the feasibility of mobilising various types of primary biodiversity data, including those documented through multimedia objects such as photographs, illustrations, audio-recordings, and video-recordings.
