GBIF’s Mandate ”To facilitate free and open access to biodiversity data worldwide, via the Internet, to underpin scientific research, conservation and sustainable development.”
GBIF is govt-initiated, and govt. funded, in response to government agency needs in biodiversity information access and management;
GBIF is in service to science, as a global ‘public good’
Data shared online via GBIF Data shared online via GBIF

Primary biodiversity data and information effectively available
Data and information that have been produced but are not easy to find, access, and use (i.e not effectively available!) - a gigantic task of mobilising billions of data is still needed, as well as integrating new data.
