Global Biotic Interactions: Interpreted Data Products

Global Biotic Interactions: Interpreted Data Products This repository is a full version of the Global Biotic Interactions (interactions.tsv file) downloaded on September 14, 2021. It is in tab-delimited format, and no data transformations have occurred on this dataset after download. I<strong>nformation about Global Biotic Interactions</strong> Global Biotic Interactions (GloBI, https://globalbioticinteractions.org, [1]) aims to facilitate access to existing species interaction records (e.g., predator-prey, plant-pollinator, virus-host). This data publication provides interpreted species interaction data products. These products are the result of a process in which versioned, existing species interaction datasets and transformed into various aggregate formats (e.g., tsv, csv, neo4j, rdf/nquad, darwin core-ish archives). In addition, the applied name maps are included to make the applied taxonomic linking explicit. GloBI is made possible by researchers, collections, projects, and institutions openly sharing their datasets. When using this data, please attribute these *original data contributors*, including citing the specific datasets in derivative work. Each species interaction record indexed by GloBI contains a reference and dataset citation. If you have ideas on how to make it easier to cite original datasets, please open/join a discussion via https://globalbioticinteractions.org or related projects.
