IDAGUnite

Overview

The iDAGUnite (iDigBio, DiSSCo, ALA, and GBIF Unite) Working Group is working to formalize and expand existing cooperative relationships among the world’s four largest biodiversity data aggregation networks to catalyze a quantum leap in the availability and accessibility of biodiversity research data worldwide. This group will establish iDAGUnite as a global Network of Networks (NoN) of people, data, and infrastructure and address the mandates of two worldwide conferences of experts designed to facilitate these efforts.
