- Biodiversity Information Standards (wikipedia)
- Darwin Core standard (DwC), extension of Dublin Core (DC), the most used meta-data standard. DwC is a generic data standard specifically designed for primary biodiversity occurrence data. Visit the DwC reference guide for a description of the used terms.
- Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), system to arrange and exchange DwC standardised data. Data files are logically arranged in a star-like manner, with one core data file surrounded by any number of 'extensions'’extensions’. This packaged is then zipped for easy transport and exchange of data. DwC-A allows the inclusion of very specific information attached to standard core data. Metadata are stored in a separate file.
- ABCD standard (Access to Biological Collections Data), advanced data standard for primary biodiversity data, often used for natural history collections. ABCD includes terms for meta-data.
- EML standard (Ecological Metadata Language), common standard for metadata on observational, research, monitoring and natural history datacollections.
- Data exchange protocols; to mobilise and exchange standardised biodiversity data over the Internet there are several tools and protocols available:
- IPT, Integrated Publishing Toolkit, easy to use tool for turning data into DwC-A files. The IPT can "publish" datasets with species occurence data, metadata and species checklists.
- TapirLink, Tapirlink uses the PHP ADOdb library to access different types of relational databases. TapirLink can be used for species occurence data and is based on the DwC standard.
- Tapir Dot NET
- BioCASE provider software, xml data binding middleware, is used as an abstraction layer in front of a database. This software can also produce DwC-A files. The BioCASE software is based on the ABCD data standard.
- OAI-PMH, protocol for harvesting meta-data only.
- GBIF (Global Biodiversity Information Facility) international organisation building an infrastructure for free and open access to standardised biodiversity data (meta-data and spatio-temporal species occurrence data). The GBIF infrastructure is build on DwC, ABCD and EML. GBIF uses CoL (see below) as backbone taxonomy list.
- OBIS: marine node of GBIF, uses WoRMS (see below) as backbone taxonomy list. OBIS uses the DwC standard.
- EurOBIS: European node of OBIS.
- MedOBIS Mediterranean node of EurOBIS
- OBIS seamap
- EurOBIS: European node of OBIS.
- NLBIF: Dutch node of GBIF. Provides services and support to data owners who want to publish their data online through the infrastruture of GBIF. Note that once data are published in a standardised way for GBIF, both OBIS and EuroBIS harvest the data. NLBIF hosts and implements IPT's including a tryout account for potential data providers.
- OBIS: marine node of GBIF, uses WoRMS (see below) as backbone taxonomy list. OBIS uses the DwC standard.
