· IABIN Standards and Protocols

Ø Create a Thematic Working GroupØ Define data use policiesØ Define particular standards for the

Thematic Network in addition to IABIN standards, if it is necessary

Ø Create data entry toolsØ Create search and retrieval data toolsØ Training (Courses and Materials)Ø Thematic Network websiteØ Promote Metadata creationØ House data for organizations who cannot

house their own data

Ø Access to the information that they want to share in the network through the CI

Ø Create metadata for all information that they have about the network and how to access it.

Ø Guarantee data qualityØ Maintain and update the

informationØ Keep in touch with the CI

Ø IABIN Website (IABIN Gateway), as an entry point for all Thematic Networks

Ø Select and oversee CIØ Guarantee interoperability and

integration between Thematic Networks and the Catalog

Ø Guarantee interoperability with other networks (GBIF, CHM,etc)

Ø Host making decision toolsØ Promote data digitalizationØ Promote IABIN and its

members, and diseminate information
