This workspace has four main themes:
- Open GIS & remote sensing – the role of geo-referencing in the integration of biodiversity data and information assets (GLCF and IUCN to lead);
- Institutional policies and guidelines for implementing open access - specific aspects of institutional culture, regulations, policies which may limit or impede open access (TNC and CI to lead);
- Tools, protocols, and standards for developing common data and information sharing architecture (CI, GBIF, and CRIA to lead);
- Publications, grey literature, and conservation knowledge – tools and standards for “commons” repositories and digital libraries (AMNH and IUCN to lead).
