In April 2015, the GBIF Secretariat and Bioversity International created a ‘Task Group on Data Fitness for Use in Agrobiodiversity’ to improve the quality and quantity of data on the GBIF portal that are important to agricultural biodiversity research and policy communities. These include data on agricultural biodiversity monitoring, gaps in conservation, crop wild relatives, collections and genebank inventories, crop suitability index and more. The Norwegian GBIF node was invited and accepted to be a member of this task group.

GBIF Norway invites project proposals for co-funding the preparation of your Norwegian species occurrence data and ensuring the data quality before datasets are published in GBIF and the Norwegian Species Map (Artskart). Deadline 29 April 2016.

A total of 9 project applications receive co-funding from the GBIF node for data publishing based on the April 2016 project call.

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.
