The document discusses a meeting agenda between GBIF (Global Biodiversity Information Facility) and Elsevier to discuss opportunities for collaboration around data publishing and sharing biodiversity data. Some key points discussed in the agenda include GBIF's role in facilitating open access to biodiversity data, its data publishing framework to encourage data mobilization and sharing, and potential areas of collaboration around simultaneous publishing of data and scholarly articles.

6. GBIF’s Mandate ” To facilitate free and open access to biodiversity data worldwide, via the Internet, to underpin scientific research, conservation and sustainable development.” GBIF is govt-initiated, and govt. funded, in response to government agency needs in biodiversity information access and management; GBIF is in service to science, as a global ‘public good’

18. Primary biodiversity data and information effectively available Data and information that have been produced but are not easy to find, access, and use (i.e not effectively available!) - a gigantic task of mobilising billions of data is still needed, as well as integrating new data.
