Study on Data-sharing with Countries of Origin The present report is the result of a commissioned study by GBIF (OCB Work Programme - contract no. GBIFS/2003/04), to analyze experiences on data sharing with countries of origin (a.k.a. repatriation). This study was carried out by the Reference Centre on Environmental Information (CRIA). Work involved selecting and contacting institutions, developing a questionnaire, tabulating answers, analyzing the responses, and writing this report.
Amazon Basin Biodiversity Information Facility (ABBIF)
Demonstration Project The first GBIF Demonstration Project, at GBIF Demo, provides concrete and user-friendly examples of how primary biodiversity data can effectively be used, managed, exchanged and disseminated via the Internet, for a wide public. It was prepared for GBIF by the University of Turku in association with the Peruvian Institute of Amazonian Research (IIAP). This project provides four tours that target decision-makers as well as the general public. Tour 1 deals with Neotropical species distributions, Tour 2 with multi-authored rainforest trees inventories, Tour 3 is about sub-arctic plant observations and Tour 4 focuses on planning and management of biodiversity.
