Biodiversity informatics is the application of informatics techniques to biodiversity information, such as taxonomy, biogeography or ecology.It is defined as the application of Information technology technologies to management, algorithmic exploration, analysis and interpretation of primary data regarding life, particularly at the species level organization.

Biodiversity Information Standards (TDWG), originally called the Taxonomic Databases Working Group, is a non-profit scientific and educational association that works to develop open standards for the exchange of biodiversity data, facilitating biodiversity informatics. It is affiliated with the International Union of Biological Sciences.
The Darwin Core profile was later expressed as an XML Schema document for use by the Distributed Generic Information Retrieval (DiGIR) protocol. A TDWG task group was created to revise the Darwin Core, and a ratified metadata standard was officially released on 9 October 2009.
Legume Information System (LIS): genomic database for the legume family [11] Personal Genome Project: human genomes of 100,000 volunteers from around the world; RGD (Rat Genome Database): genomic and phenotype data for Rattus norvegicus; Saccharomyces Genome Database: [12] genome of the yeast model organism; SNPedia
This is a list of biodiversity databases. Biodiversity databases store taxonomic information alone or more commonly also other information like distribution (spatial) data and ecological data, which provide information on the biodiversity of a particular area or group of living organisms. They may store specimen-level information, species-level ...
The Catalogue is also used by the Biodiversity Heritage Library, the Barcode of Life Data System, Encyclopedia of Life, and the Global Biodiversity Information Facility. [2] The Catalogue currently compiles data from 165 peer-reviewed taxonomic databases that are maintained by specialist institutions around the world.
GAP is now known as the Gap Analysis Project. [7] The Gap Analysis Project mission is to provide state, regional, and national biodiversity assessments of the conservation status of native vertebrate species, aquatic species, and natural land cover types and to facilitate the application of this information to land management activities.
The GLOBIO Model is a global biodiversity model developed by the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency to support policy makers by quantifying global human impacts on biodiversity and ecosystems. [1] [2] [3] It is designed to quantify human impacts on biodiversity at large (regional to global) scales. [4]
