Collaborations and Projects
To play its role as national gateway to expose “Belgian” biodiversity data to the worldwide GBIF network, BeBIF has developed several strategies
and informatic tools
Collaboration with the Belgian Co-ordinated Collections of Micro-organisms (BCCM) to expose part of their data on our server under GBIF Standards.
Federation of Biogeographical Databases
Belgian Committee of the International Water Association (BIWA)
Research Unit in Organismic Biology (Namur): BeBIF Data Node (Sub-Contractor) specialized in freshwater ecology
Collaboration with Provinces, Communities and Regions in Belgium

How to collaborate with biodiversity.be ?
(Plan for the future)
1. Fill in or update the Metadata form (to respect IPR)
2. Share biodiversity data under international standards with BeBIF and GBIF
3. Data will be visible online, can be queried centrally
5. Data will be validated by an SPO panel of scientific and IT experts
6. Official biodiversity.be "checked data" Label
Concerning BeBIF
TDWG, Portugal 2003http://www.be.gbif.net
DATA to be shared with GBIF
Species: Taxonomy, Scientific Names, Synonyms, Common Names, Belgian contribution to the GBIF Catalogue of Life
Geographic location: As accurate as possible (GPS recommended), restricted access for endangered species Services of our online mapserver
Data Providers and Metadata: Fill in the Metadata online form, Information about the data and respect of IPR
Specimens: Number of specimens hold, collected or observed
Any other biodiversity related data: Species or specimen descriptions, Identification keys, sampling site descriptions, list of publications … Either transmitted to BeBIF or made publicly available on a local server in collaboration with the BeBIF team

Guidelines for a GBIF National Node ?
No unique model for all nodes, but adapt to the conditions at national level
And be aware of (Jean-Claude Vandamme)
- Peopleware
- Hardware and software
- Funding?
Work hard, but have fun and enjoy it !
