Abstract:
|
From Executive Summary:
"The main aim of the paper is to provide a background to issues of biodiversity information management and to set some suggestions for a framework for information sharing within the biodiversity sector. It aims to spark discussions at the meeting planned at IUCN in late May 2004. As such the conclusions remain general.
"The level of sensitivity to the issue of creating, developing and sharing a Biodiversity Commons suggests a need for an agreed framework for information sharing. This should probably be in the form of a series of simple principles, rigorously applied and policed so that the global community can, with luck, build growing trust in the way that information can be shared and used to common good purpose."
