7. Biodiversity Go4 meeting, 1/07/09

8. Our views on BDC Common portal to easily access/view ‘processed’ data
Common interface to multiple biodiversity data sets (EUNIS+)
Easy discovery of data and advertising data sets (unlike EUNIS)
Multiple formats for use by experts and non experts
Reference centre for updated biodiversity data (Art. 17, N2000, Red lists, birds, BAP, CDDA…)
Core data for assessments, indicator-based reports,…
Key issue: what is the added value for EC, EEA/ETC?
