FAIRsharing record for: Lichenized and Non-Lichenized Ascomycetes

This FAIRsharing record describes: LIAS is a global information system for Lichenized and Non-Lichenized Ascomycetes. It includes several interoperable data repositories. In recent years, the two core components ‘LIAS names’ and ‘LIAS light’ have been enlarged. LIAS light stores phenotypic trait data. The component ‘LIAS names’ is a platform for managing taxonomic names and classifications. 'LIAS names' and ‘LIAS light’ also deliver content data to the Catalogue of Life, acting as the Global Species Database (GSD) for lichens. LIAS gtm is a database for visualising the geographic distribution of lichen traits. LIAS is powered by the Diversity Workbench database framework with several interfaces for data management and publication.
