These institutions join two others which have been GBIF data providers for a longer period of time:

Together, these 10 institutions are currently (as of 3 May 2005) serving over 1.9 million data records through the GBIF data portal. GBIF congratulates these institutions on making a good start at bringing online the estimated 8 million digital records held within Austria.
Austria currently shares the 2nd place
