The unprotected distribution of Sensitive Primary Species Occurrence Data (for example the
exact localities of rare, endangered or commercially valuable taxa) has been a concern of the
GBIF Secretariat since its beginning. In early 2006, GBIF initiated a process to address this
issue, especially in relation to data to be shared through the GBIF network and made visible
through the GBIF Data Portal.
A review of current approaches for obscuring or generalising such data was initiated in
February 2006 and an on-line survey conducted through Survey Monkey1
. A separate report
on the results was made available via the GBIF Web site2
in early June 2006 (Chapman
2006). An experts’ workshop was then held in early March 2007 that focussed on the various
technical issues involved (Chapman 2007a).
A final report on Dealing with Sensitive Primary Species Occurrence Data was developed
following these processes and discussions, and was presented to GBIF in April 2007
(Chapman 2007b). .....
