Work package 13. Making non-European biodiversity data in European repositories globally available

ENBI work package 13 (hereafter WP13) aims to improve the methods of electronic sharing of biodiversity data in European collections by:

1. Identifying and compiling sources of existing information on user needs from programmes, institutions, and other sources, and analysing degrees of commonality.
2. Assessing and analysing existing models of active data use by relevant end-users, and their potential applicability to other situations involving European sourced data.
3. Exchanging and compiling information about mechanisms for active data sharing from those organisations (most probably as partners of ENBI) known to be currently meeting some needs of (or working with) developing countries in this field
