If a tree falls in the forest and nobody publish the event in GBIF, did it really happen?
If a tree falls in the forest and nobody bring a sample to a museum herbarium, how can we verify that it really did happen?

18. USING DATA THROUGH GBIF
GBIF has established itself as an
essential infrastructure underpinning
science and policy related to
biodiversity. Demonstrated by the
growing volume of peer-reviewed
research using data discovered and
accessed through GBIF.
Featured examples of use in Norway:

27. 2016 SCIENCE REVIEW
Annual publication
summarizes more than 100
peer-reviewed articles that
rely on GBIF-mediated data.
Accompanying Sourcebook
includes more than 400
citations.

41. PUBLISH DATA IN GBIF
datapublishing
Step 1: data holding research institutes seek
endorsement as an approved data publisher.
Step 2: datasets are identified and converted to
standard Darwin Core format.
Step 3: datasets can be published directly from the
data node and/or with the assistance from a national
GBIF node.
Citizen science data platforms also publish in GBIF.
43. GBIF INDICATOR FOR AICHI TARGET 19 (2016)
Growth in Species Occurrence Records
Accessible Through GBIF
Indicator description
This indicator tracks the number of digitally-accessible records
published through the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF).
An increase in the value of this indicator means that a larger volume of
records documenting the spatial and temporal occurrence of species is
being shared by holders of biodiversity data, in formats that make them
free for use by researchers and policymakers via the Internet. A decline
would indicate reduced availability of such data for research and policy.
Indicator classification
Operational and included in the CBD's list of indicators.

44. CBD AICHI TARGET 19
The 13th COP meeting of the CBD on 13 December 2016:
• welcomes the Global Biodiversity Informatics Outlook (GBIF 2013)
• promote open access to biodiversity-related data
• promote the use of common data standards (TDWG.org)
• invest in digitization of natural history collections
• establish national biodiversity information facilities (GBIF nodes)
• continued support from Governments for networks such as the Global
Biodiversity Information Facility
49. DATA CITATION PRINCIPLES
1. Data to be legitimate citable products of research.
2. Data citations giving scholarly credit and attribution.
3. In scholarly literature, whenever claims are based on data, data should
always be cited.
4. Persistent method for identification of data, that is machine actionable,
globally unique, universal.
5. Data citation facilitate access to data or at least to metadata.
6. Unique identifiers that persist even beyond the lifespan of the data.
7. Data citation identify and access the specific data that support verification
of the claim (provenance, time-slice, version).
8. Flexible, but attention to interoperability of practices across communities.

50. "FAIR" DATA
Findable
– assign persistent IDs, provide rich metadata, register
in a searchable resource (such as GBIF)
Accessible
– Retrievable by their ID using a standard protocol,
metadata remain accessible even if data aren’t
Interoperable
– Use formal, broadly applicable languages, use
standard vocabularies, qualified references (e.g.
Darwin Core)
Reusable
– Rich, accurate metadata, clear licences, provenance,
use of community standards (e.g. Dublin Core, EML)
