Certainly the systems currently in place through GBIF to ensure transparency and attribution for research use of data shared under open licence from multiple sources and from many countries (e.g. through DOI citations) could be part of the model for governance of DSI – and this approach is among the policy options currently under discussion through the CBD consultations on this issue.

Janny: GBIF only accepts data from registered data publishers which can be institutions or networks endorsed through the process described at https://www.gbif.org/become-a-publisher . However, options include either sharing observations through iNaturalist whose research-grade records are automatically harvested by GBIF, or publishing a data paper e.g. through Pensoft’s Biodiversity Data Journal in which case the underlying data will be shared with GBIF through the journal’s own platform. I would be happy to elaborate on this through direct email contact thirsch@gbif.org.

Josue: for primary data relating to species occurrences, the best option is probably share data through GBIF – depending on your home country this can either be through a national GBIF node or you can register directly as a GBIF data publisher, using this link https://www.gbif.org/become-a-publisher .
