Note: The above list comprises only the data providers that have been endorsed by a GBIF Participant.

The mark (*) identifies the BioCASe/ABCD data providers. The rest are DiGIR/DarwinCore2 data providers.

The sign = means that the number of records of the particular provider has not been modified during two consecutive retrievals of its metadata information. The signs ↑ and ↓ correspond to increase and decrease of the number of records respectively.

The appears next to a "Host Institution" name when either this is a new entry in the data providers listing or the metadata information of the particular provider has been updated in the GBIF UDDI registry.
