The document discusses Science Publishing for the MySpace Generation and the Encyclopedia of Life. It notes that while over 1.8 million species have been described based on 300 million pages of data collected over 250 years, up to 87% of life on Earth remains undescribed. It also states that only 6% of biodiversity scientists are covering 80% of the world's biodiversity, and at the current rate most species will be extinct before being described. The goal of projects like the Encyclopedia of Life is to help inventory and understand Earth's species and their relationships to create predictive information systems from biodiversity data.
