• Build an electronic ecosystem
• Offer free and open access to data and technology
• Expose all the (biodiversity) data and metadata, in multiple contexts
• Remain community-driven, and collaborative
• Adopt strong standardization
• Work for science, conservation, management

How do we X-link?
• exporting the design models: standards and protocols, tools, data flows, promotion
• help SCAR programs wherever needed (and to the best extent we can do this realistically...)
• dynamic antarctic2100/data atlas??
