Biodiversity informatics involves making biodiversity data accessible through digitization, standardization, and publishing. Biodiversity data is used for taxonomy, biogeography, endangered species monitoring, and more. Key challenges include resolving scientific names and data quality. Major organizations include GBIF, Global Names, and Canadensys which works to mobilize Canadian specimen records. Additional resources can be found through conferences, organizations, and online communities.
