How do we share biodiversity data

1.8 million species pages Common format Customizable by user Freely available Accessible from a common portal Never completed

http://www.gbif.org/

GBIF is a global network of data providers that builds biodiversity information infrastructure and promotes the growth of biodiversity information content on the Internet by working with partner initiatives and coordinating activities worldwide.
