GBIF's Multimedia Resources Task Group is conducting an online survey of multimedia resources related to biodiversity.
The major objective of this survey is to understand the extent of potentially useful, sharable biodiversity multimedia resources (images, audio, video, etc.) and repositories that hold them.
The survey is also intended to
- discover the current barriers to sharing these multimedia resources in the public domain, and
- determine the degree to which each resource is tagged with data elements (e.g. what, when, where, by whom and how) that are essential to facilitating its potential use as a species occurrence record.
The survey also asks your permission (if you are authorized to grant it) to publish the attributes and URL of any public repository you are reporting, because GBIF may develop a public directory of such facilities.
Please contribute to the survey. The survey closes 26 May 2008.
Please feel free to circulate this request for participation to colleagues and appropriate mailing lists.
