Table 4. List of repositories, data centers and se… Table 5. List of GFBio Data Centers
The ten GFBio Data Centers are associated with GFBio e.V. Data submission and search can be done with all of them. Physical objects can be given to some of them and only after consulting the responsible curators of the physical collections. GFBio defined five major types of biological data which are recognised by the Data Centers in NFDI4Biodiversity. They are used for the "Service Description" of the individual Data Centers as well as in the context of the technical documentations of processing tools:
- Type 1: Biodiversity and Occurrence data
These are the data from the classical collection and alpha-diversity research domain, i.e. digital objects with taxon name(s), georeferences, e.g. locality, date and often referenced resources as multimedia objects. We distinguish between:- Type 1a: Collection Data (with reference to physical object)
- Type 1b: Observation Data (without reference to physical object)
- Type 2: Taxon Data
These are taxon-related data (e.g. in a catalogue, checklist or so-called red list). - Type 3: Environmental Biological and Ecological Data
These are environmental biological and ecological study data including functional and phylogenetic trait data and other kind of analysis data. - Type 4: Non-Molecular Analysis Data
These are non-molecular analysis data (data sets and/or data packages) in its original data file format (often RAW format). - Type 5: Molecular Sequence Data
These are molecular sequence data including MIxS-compliant metadata.
