  1. Support article: What are biodiversity data standards?

    Different researchers and institutions capture and store data in the forms and combinations which best meet their needs. However, in order to make this data more widely accessible and to ensure it can be reused for different purposes, data providers need to consider the most appropriate way to expose their data. They need to decide which structures and terms will be best recognised by others...
