It occurred to me that it would be useful to have a listing of known projects that relate to biodiversity data. I spent a few hours creating a spreadsheet of projects that I knew about. I then asked Piers Higgs of Gaia Resources if he would be interested in spending 50 hours to see what he and his staff could find.
The result is http://www.tdwg.org/activities/bioinformatics-projects/, a database of 455 projects that we had discovered. 295 of these records are complete for all fields. Ricardo Pereira (software engineer of the TDWG Infrastructure Project) has done a great job of creating the database and the interface.
Quite a coincidence that a G.B. Edwards has just suggested the need for such a list on taxacom!
