German Federation for the Curation of Biological Data (GFBio)

德国生物数据联合会（GFBio）旨在建立一个可持续的、以服务为导向的国家数据基础设施，促进生物和环境研究领域的数据共享和刺激数据密集型科学。GFBio遵循全面的方法，包括技术，组织，文化和政策方面。基础设施的发展基本上是基于来自多个学科的主要研究人员的集体经验和专业知识，以及生物和环境科学界的互补和专业数据设施网络，包括PANGAEA，主要的德国自然历史收集数据库，以及来自分子生物学研究界的选定设施。GFBio计划分三个阶段，从开发到服务管理。目前，准备阶段的重点是概念化和原型化GFBio组件，如存档主干和服务平台。第二阶段将集中于实施，最后阶段将集中于巩固基础设施。

The German Federation for Biological Data (GFBio) aims to set up a sustainable, service oriented, national data infrastructure facilitating data sharing and stimulating data intensive science in the fields of biological and environmental research. GFBio follows a holistic approach including technical, organizational, cultural, and policy aspects. The development of the infrastructure is essentially based on the collective experience and expertise of leading researchers from multiple disciplines as well as on a network of complementary and professional data facilities in the biological and environmental sciences communities, including PANGAEA, major German natural history collection data repositories, and selected facilities from the molecular biology research community. GFBio is projected for three phases setting out the way from development to management of services. The current, preparatory phase focusses on conceptualizing and prototyping GFBio components such as the archive backbone and the service platform. Phase II will concentrate on implementation and the last phase on consolidation of the infrastructure.
