Expected volume
of taxonomic and
biodiversity data
Need of extracting,
aggregating and linking
data on a global level

The four nodes of data workflow
1. We collect and generate data
2. We curate, link and structure data
3. We analyse data
4. We publish data

This requires data, information & knowledge to be…
• Digital Not printed paper
• Openly accessible Not behind barriers (e.g. paywalls)
• Linked-up Not in silos
“Link together evolutionary data… by developing
analytical tools and proper documentation and then use this framework to conduct comparative analyses, studies of evolutionary process and biodiversity analyses”
To achieve this…
