- 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 data. Visit the DwC reference guide for a description ot of the used terms.
- Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A),
- ABCD standard (Access to Biological Collections Data), advanced data standard for primary biodiversity data, often used for natural history collections. ABCD includes terms for metadata.
- EML standard (Ecological Metadata Language), common standard for metadata on observational, research, monitoring and natural history datacollections.
- GBIF (Global Biodiversity Information Facility) international organisation building an infrastructure for free and open access to standardised biodiversity data. The GBIF infrastructure is build on DwC, ABCD and EMLGBIF: international organisation: advises to use either Darwin core or ABCD for biological meta-data, uses CoL (se below) as backbone taxonomy list
- OBIS: marine node of GBIF, uses WoRMS (see below) as backbone taxonomy list
- EurOBIS: European node of OBIS.
- MedOBIS Mediterranean node of EurOBIS
- OBIS seamap
- EurOBIS: European node of OBIS.
- NLBIF: Dutch node of GBIF. Note that Dutch marine data covered both by NLBIF and EurOBIS, so a choice needs to be made, perhaps EurOBIS is preferred. Uses CoL + some WoRMS extensions (see below) as backbone taxonomy list. NLBif host a new initiative to share data: IPT which has a tryout option.
