4D4Life: Distributed Dynamic Diversity Databases for Life
1. The Main Objectives: to build a state-of-the-art e-infrastructure that:
• facilitates enhanced information exchange within the Species 2000 networks,
• synthesises a significantly improved global resource, the Catalogue of Life.
• disseminates this synthesised knowledge in anew array of modern web-services and products
• takes the e-infrastructure to a sustainable future

What are AquaMaps
• Computer-generated distribution maps
• Based on environmental preference of species and known occurrences
• For eventually all species on Earth
