However, it is dwarfed by the scale of what is still required. The Global Biodiversity Informatics Outlook (GBIO) offers a framework for reaching a much deeper understanding of the world{\textquoteright}s biodiversity, and through that understanding the means to conserve it better and to use it more sustainably. The GBIO identifies four major focal areas, each with a number of core components, to help coordinate efforts and funding. The co-authors, from a wide range of disciplines, agree these are the essential elements of a global strategy to harness biodiversity data for the common good.}, url = {http://www.biodiversityinformatics.org}, author = {Hobern, Donald and Apostolico, Alberto and Arnaud, Elizabeth and Bello, Juan Carlos and Canhos, Dora and Dubois, Gregoire and Field, Dawn and Garc{\'\i}a, Enrique Alonso and Hardisty, Alex and Harrison, Jerry and Heidorn, Bryan and Krishtalka, Leonard and Mata, Erick and Page, Roderic and Parr, Cynthia and Price, Jeff and Willoughby, Selwyn} }
