BioCommons helps to identify Global Core BioData Resources
Recently the Global BioData Coalition (GBC) coordinated an international exercise to identify an initial set of critical “Global Core BioData Resources” - biological, life sciences, and biomedical databases that archive research data that serve as the repositories of record; as well as knowledgebases that add value to these data by aggregation, processing, and expert curation. We were very happy to represent Australia in this international activity.
The initial list of Global Core Data Resources has now been published as well as details of the process used. We will also be hosting a webinar with GBC in early 2023 to raise awareness in Australia of the crucial work that GBC is doing to work towards ensuring a more sustainable and connected international global biodata infrastructure, so make sure to look for details in a future newsletter.
