Current situation in the Netherlands

Estimated minimum of 350 milj. primary biodiversity records available

Source GBIF Current problem

50 milj. NH collections 2 milj. Digitization

200 milj. observational

private data

80.000 GBIF infrastrucure not adequate / IPR

100 milj. governemental monitoring data 4 milj. Customised databases

Data from research projects (?) - NLBIF outreach not sufficient
