The objective of the Memorandum of Cooperation (MoC) is to establish a framework for cooperative work between the ongoing Zipcode Zoo (ZCZ) and GBIF programmes to effectively exchange and disseminate biodiversity data and information.
GBIF will provide access to specimen and observational
data derived from its global network of data providers. The intent of making
these data available to ZCZ is to facilitate more efficient access to the processed
occurrence information that GBIF currently makes available, and ZCZ currently
accesses, via the GBIF web services.
ZCZ agrees to - Restrict the use of the raw specimen and occurrence data to facilitate
the processing of data for integration within the ZCZ web site located at
ZipcodeZoo.com. These raw data will not be distributed by ZCZ to third
parties.
- Comply with GBIF data usage guidelines as defined with the
GBIF data usage agreement.
