To get the most value out of these data it is imperative to seek a solution whereby these data are rescued, archived and made available to the biodiversity community. To this end, the biodiversity informatics community requires investment in processes and infrastructure to mitigate data loss and provide solutions for long-term hosting and sharing of biodiversity data.}, isbn = {1471-2105}, doi = {10.1186/1471-2105-12-S15-S5}, url = {http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2105/12/S15/S5}, author = {Goddard,Anthony and Wilson,Nathan and Cryer,Phil and Yamashita,Grant} }
