We present OpenBiodiv an implementation of the Open Biodiversity Knowledge Management System. The need for an integrated information system serving the needs of the biodiversity community can be dated at least as far back as the sanctioning of the Bouchout declaration in 2007.

At TDWG 2016 (Fig. 1) we presented the prototype of the system then called Open Biodiversity Knolwedge Management System (OBKMS) (Senderov et al. 2016). The specification and design of OpenBiodiv was then outlined in more detail by Senderov and Penev (2016). In this poster, we describe the pilot ‡,§ § | ¶ #
