The site, in 2001
An international organisation that makes biodiversity data from institutions worldwide searchable through a single portal.
Its data are mainly distribution records for plants, animals, fungi and microbes, plus scientific names, all free to use. It works with the Catalogue of Life, the Encyclopedia of Life and the Consortium for the Barcode of Life.
In 2001: Governments established it this year, following a 1999 OECD recommendation.
Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.
The Establishment: Governments, universities, libraries and archives. Very official.
