为了有效地理解和应对当前的“生物多样性危机”，拥有足够多的合格数据是必要的。全球生物多样性信息设施 (GBIF) 等信息服务者正在通过将分布在多个同意以通用访问模式发布其数据的机构的数据收集联系起来，确保提高主要生物多样性记录的可用性。我们评估了 GBIF 西班牙节点（GBIF.ES）代表多个机构托管的主要记录，这些记录被认为是一个国家可用数据总量的高度代表性样本，以便了解可用信息的数量和质量。我们的结果可以表明这些数据的整体适用性。我们发现了数据的可用性和累积方面的许多模式，这些模式似乎是数字化过程中自然产生的。了解这些模式和特征可能有助于决定何时以及如何使用这些数据。总的来说，错误率似乎很低。现有数据对于当地和全球生物多样性研究的发展可能至关重要。然而，大量记录缺乏地理参考或分类级别等数据元素。尽管剩余信息充足且适合多种用途，但提高记录的完整性可能会增加这些数据的可用性范围。
In order to effectively understand and cope with the current ‘biodiversity crisis’, having large-enough sets of qualified data is necessary. Information facilitators such as the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) are ensuring increasing availability of primary biodiversity records by linking data collections spread over several institutions that have agreed to publish their data in a common access schema. We have assessed the primary records that one such publisher, the Spanish node of GBIF (GBIF.ES), hosts on behalf of a number of institutions, considered to be a highly representative sample of the total mass of available data for a country in order to know the quantity and quality of the information made available. Our results may provide an indication of the overall fitness-for-use in these data. We have found a number of patterns in the availability and accrual of data that seem to arise naturally from the digitization processes. Knowing these patterns and features may help deciding when and how these data can be used. Broadly, the error level seems low. The available data may be of capital importance for the development of biodiversity research, both locally and globally. However, wide swaths of records lack data elements such as georeferencing or taxonomical levels. Although the remaining information is ample and fit for many uses, improving the completeness of the records would likely increase the usability span for these data.
