“…To support the worldwide sharing of various collections of biodiversity data [2], a number of large scale initiatives emerged in recent years, either at global -e.g., GBIF [3], OBIS [4], VertNet [5], Catalogue of Life [6] -or at a regional level -e.g., speciesLink [7] and List of Species of the Brazilian Flora [8]. Moreover, standards for data sharing have been promoted by establishing appropriate interest groups, e.g., the Biodiversity Information Standards (TDWG -the Taxonomic Databases Working Group).…”

“…by removing repeated occurrence points obtained in a search) are required and the performance should not deviate more than 10% from the same time measured from the reference. The services should interact with the Catalogue of Life, the GBIF Global Names Architecture 5 and Taxon Data Service 6 , the checklist of the Brazilian Flora Web Service 7 and the Tropicos service 8 .…”

“…Capturing such data offers considerable advantages as these data can be re-used in a different context as well as integrated with data from biodiversity monitoring programs. Web-services that facilitate access and sharing of large collections of data from primary resources, in a common structure, is an active and evolving field (Constable et al, 2010, Hardisty et al, 2013.…”
