Uniting FAIR data through interlinked, machine-actionable infrastructures

Abstract

A new community of research infrastructures has joined forces to provide scientists with seamless access to the plethora of data, services and tools in biodiversity research. New levels of technological innovation and interoperability between infrastructures foster unprecedented access to biodiversity data across all data domains and the entire research lifecycle, thus advancing open science practices and strengthening Europe's position in the global biodiversity research landscape. This policy brief highlights the potential benefits derived from enhanced connectivity and interoperability among various types of biodiversity data, fostering innovation and advancements in biodiversity science, monitoring, conservation, and policy development.
