The Paleobiology Database

The Paleobiology Database (PaleoBioDB) is a non-governmental, non-profit public resource for paleontological data. It has been organized and operated by a multi-disciplinary, multi-institutional, international group of paleobiological researchers. Its purpose is to provide global, collection-based occurrence and taxonomic data for organisms of all geological ages, as well data services to allow easy access to data for independent development of analytical tools, visualization software, and applications of all types. The Database’s broader goal is to encourage and enable data-driven collaborative efforts that address large-scale paleobiological questions.

古生物学数据库（PaleoBioDB）系一个非政府、非盈利的公共资源，致力于古生物学数据的收集。该数据库由一支跨学科、跨机构的国际古生物学研究团队组织与运营。其宗旨在于为全球范围内的各类地质年代生物提供基于收藏的物种出现和分类数据，并提供数据服务，以便于独立开发分析工具、可视化软件及各类应用。该数据库的更宏伟目标是激励并促进数据驱动的协作努力，以解决大规模的古生物学问题。
