The GBIF strategic plan (2012-2016), has 3 key strategic imperatives:

1. Advance the Digital Content

Quantity: Fill the data gaps Quality: Enhance fitness-for-use Use: Measure data impact

2. Advance the Informatics Infrastructure Expand the distributed infrastructure Improve standards and interoperability Foster community-developed standards, tools and services

3. Advance the Engagement Engage a global GBIF community & Strengthen Participant engagement and capacity Recruit new Participant countries Recruit strategic partners

Most fundamentally, the global BI community must work together to deliver a shared comprehensive checklist for all named species and effective open community approaches to clean and improve such a checklist. Use of the same taxonomic backbone by all of these initiatives, and shared effort to fill gaps and correct errors, is critical
