About

To promote theory-driven synthesis and data-driven theory, efficient management of data and information ranging from molecular to global scale is required. In accordance with the DFG research data handling guidelines for biodiversity research, the Biodiversity Informatics Unit (BDU) have installed a data repository for biodiversity and ecological data. The central role of the repository is to allow iDiv researchers to manage, describe, share, store and preserve biodiversity and ecology data, based on the Find, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable (FAIR) data management principles and showcase intellectual output of iDiv.
