The Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) is an intergovernmental initiative aimed at facilitating free access to biodiversity data worldwide to support scientific research and conservation efforts. As of May 2010, GBIF had over 200 million biodiversity records and aimed to improve data access, sharing, and mobilization while addressing challenges in data integration and publication. The document outlines GBIF's strategies for enhancing data accessibility and collaboration within the biodiversity informatics community.

Editor's Notes
- #14 Add a NODES component to this SLIDE as GBIF historical focus has collections as a core
- #21 DIGIT has moved from its NHC focus (specimen, observation, multimedia, impact assessments, domain specific task groups). Data Resources Discovery – GBRDS is planned as registry of biodiversity resources, GBRDS Stakeholders workshop, GBRDS as tool for investment in BI. GSAP-NHC has recommended that metadata creation is way forward to expedite NHC digitisation. Innovative approaches are being adopted by the network Participants as fall out of targets set by 2009-2010 WP. Data Mobilisation Strategy Discussions – assess realities, challenges, and potentials of the Participants Data Publishing Framework Task Group: Data Publishing on par with Scholarly publishing: (a) recommendation on data discovery and publishing, (b) data publishing together with scholarly publishing, (c) Data Paper, (d) Data Usage Index, (e) Data Citation Mechanism
