GBIF-D projects 2001-2013 Maren Gleisberg & Walter Berendsohn, GBIF-D Coordination-Team Key technologies used in the global network were developed in Germany: BioCASE software (Biological Collection Access Service for Europe) and the international data exchange standard ABCD (Access to Biological Collection Data). The German Federal Ministry of Research and Education funded 3 major programmes feeding into GBIF-D (www.gbif.de) Massive investment in technical infrastructure (end of 2010) DFG (German Research Foundation) funded DNA-Bank network and recently called for proposals on digitisation of collections and mobilisation of primary biodiversity data German contribution to the GBIF-Secretariat shared by BMBF and DFG
