Datasets, Tools & Code

Datasets

Sometimes you just need all the data, so we created these taxon-based data snapshots from the VertNet Index. Together, these datasets represent the entirety of the content within the VertNet data portal at a given point in time. Our goal is to update these snapshots quarterly. They will be made available to the public via CyVerse on their Data Commons Repository. We’ll also keep our first set of snapshots up on the KNB Data Repository, a member repository of DataONE. Both CyVerse and KNB will provide a persistent home for these datasets and mint a DOI (digital object identifier), so that you can refer to the dataset by name or by DOI, just like you would a publication.
