Global Biodiversity Information Facility - US Integrated Publishing Toolkit

The US node to GBIF represents an integral part of the U.S. Geological Survey’s (USGS) activities to collect, organize and share biological information. As part of that role USGS has identified three primary functions: 1) Assist the US biodiversity community with understanding biological data management and standards that promote data sharing, reuse, and reproducibility (FAIR). 2)Promote biodiversity data mobilization in the US by educating the US community on the use of data standards and provide a pathway for data providers to make their data accessible via the US Node Integrated Publishing Toolkit. 3) Encouraging the reuse of the available data to support biodiversity-related science, decision-making for sustainable development, species protections and conservation efforts, and risk analyses.

全球生物多样性信息设施（GBIF）美国节点是美国地质调查局（USGS）开展生物信息收集、整理与共享工作的核心组成部分。作为该节点的核心职责，美国地质调查局明确了三项主要职能：其一，协助美国生物多样性领域相关主体理解生物数据管理规范与相关标准，推动数据共享、复用与可复现（FAIR）原则的实践；其二，通过向美国相关群体普及数据标准的使用方法，为数据提供者搭建通过美国节点集成发布工具包（Integrated Publishing Toolkit, IPT）实现数据公开共享的渠道，以此推动美国境内生物多样性数据的活化工作；其三，鼓励对现有公开数据的复用，以支撑生物多样性相关科研、可持续发展决策、物种保护与保育工作，以及风险分析活动。如需了解更多详情，请访问由GBIF美国节点运营的官方门户站点：https://www.gbif.us/
