TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the Essential Biodiversity Variable framework to describe the range of biodiversity data needed to track progress towards global biodiversity targets, and assessed strengths and gaps in geographical and taxonomic coverage.

TL;DR: This paper summarises the GBIC2 discussions and presents a set of 23 complementary ambitions to be addressed by the global community in the context of the proposed alliance.

TL;DR: The workshop highlighted the need for using an open and accessible platform to upload data originating from CS sources or to mirror validated data into a single, easy-to-use web service, in line with the EU Open Science Strategic Priority.

TL;DR: This case study provides an informed and accurate case study that contrasts targeted data capture with generalized public repositories of digital specimen data, and feels the conclusions on how global biodiversity data aggregation and publication work require clarification and correction of common misconceptions are questionable.

TL;DR: The first-ever minimum information standard for arthropod abundance, Minimum Information for Reusable Arthropod Abundance Data (MIReAD), is presented, designed to optimize data (re)usability from the “FAIR,” (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) principles of public data archiving (PDA).
