2.- GBIF Spain participants data portal

The Coordination Unit of the Spanish GBIF Node provides hosting services to integrate Spanish biodiversity data to the GBIF network. This biodiversity information can be visited online on the GBIF Spain data portal. Currently, GBIF Spain makes available nearly 4 million records that are shared by around 50 collections, institutions and projects from Spain. A few datasets from Cuba and Portugal are also hosted as a temporary solution whereas these countries develop functional GBIF Nodes.

4.- GBIF International data portal mirror in Spain

It provides access to millions of data records shared via the GBIF Network. These data are generously made available through the GBIF network by a wide range of institutions and organisations from around the world. There are two types of data currently being shared through the GBIF Network: Species occurrence records (based on specimens and observations) - information about the occurrence of species at particular times and places; and Names and classifications of organisms - information on the names (both scientific and common) used for species and on the classification of those organisms into taxonomic hierarchies.

5.- GBIF widget for Protected areas

The GBIF-WDPA project intersects together the data from GBIF and the World Database on Protected Areas, WDPA. It was developed by GBIF and the International Union for Conservation of Nature, IUCN.

6.- Plinan Core (species data profile) development wiki

The Plinian Core is a set of concepts that defines the necessary basic attributes to integrate and recover the information about species of organisms required by users specialized in biodiversity as well as users of other areas. It is currently supported and developed by INBio of Costa Rica (mostly within the scope of IABIN), SiB Colombia and GBIF Spain.
