GBIF and OBIS (marine data infrastructure) aimed to merge infrastructure services to reduce duplication of efforts. OBIS required the WoRMS taxon LSIDs to be published as scientificNameID. The MOD database has an API towards the Worms database. The taxonomy in the Worms database is the reference taxonomy used for naming macrobenthos on the Norwegian continental shelf. All taxonomies in the MOD database were updated according to Worms. Different categories for non-compliance were gone through and updated. After updating, MOD data were exported, including the unique AphiaID from the Worms database, which is the same as the LSID referred to in OBIS. The dataset was handed over to GBIF, which published it.

Akvaplan-niva has published marine zooplankton samples from the North Atlantic and the Arctic.
