Dear friends of GBIF, Primary biodiversity data can be used for multiple purposes by various user communities worldwide. Assessing and enhancing fitness for use of data is therefore critical for the scientific and social relevance of GBIF. GBIF has, to date, promoted the development of best practices guidelines, tools, protocols and training programmes for evaluating and enhancing the taxonomic and geospatial quality of data. In order to further develop a community-agreed roadmap, there is a need for commissioning a White Paper for enhancing taxonomic and geospatial 'fitness-for-use' of primary biodiversity data. More information at http://www.gbif.org/communications/news-and-events/showsingle/article/enhaci ng-fitness-for-use-of-primary-biodiversity-data/ Proposals must be sent to Dr. <mailto:[email protected]> Vishwas Chavan, GBIF Senior Programme Officer for DIGIT by 25th November 2009.
