Germplasm data, seed Germplasm data, seed genebanksgenebanks
Germplasm genebanks are biodiversity collections.
Collection level dataMetadata about genebank institutes and the germplasm collections they hold.
Unit level dataThe unit level data for germplasm collections are the accessions. Genebank accessions share many properties and attributes with other biodiversity specimens.

IPGRI Crop DescriptorsIPGRI Crop Descriptors
The IPGRI crop descriptors are developed to standardize characterization and evaluation data – called “descriptive data” in TDWG context.
The MCPD (Multi Crop Passport Descriptors) is designed to standardize "passport data" across crops. It enables compatibility with the IPGRI crop specific descriptor lists and the FAO World Information and Early Warning System (WIEWS) and serves as a basis for data exchange.
The MCPD descriptor list was made fully compatible with ABCD 2.06

Generation Challenge Programme, Generation Challenge Programme, GCP_Passport_1.03GCP_Passport_1.03
The Generation Challenge Programme is a research and capacity building network that uses plant genetic diversity to produce better crop varieties for resource-poor farmers.
In the context of the GCP (Generation Challenge Programme), the GCP Passport data exchange schema was developed.

Germplasm cataloguesGermplasm catalogues
Most genebank datasets are indexed by three major germplasm catalogues
EURISCO is the data catalogue of the European genebanks (836 725 accessions)
SINGER is the portal to the international CGIAR collections (442 635 accessions)
USDA-GRIN is the portal to the USDA ARS National Germplasm Repositories of the USA (464 586 accessions)
All three catalogues are published in GBIF

Germplasm data exchange with Germplasm data exchange with PyWrapper/BioCASEPyWrapper/BioCASE
GBIF technology demonstrated to IPGRI, FAO, CGIAR centres and genebanks (2005) and widely adopted for PGR information networks
In the spring of 2004 the first European genebanks joined GBIF as data providers.
In 2005 USDA-GRIN joined GBIF. In 2006 both SINGER and EURISCO joined GBIF.
The germplasm datasets worldwide are compatible with the MCPD data standard.
Sharing of germplasm datasets with GBIF was rather straight forward after mapping of the MCPD data standard to ABCD 2.06

Germplasm data indexingGermplasm data indexing
The genebanks are building data indexing methodologies for access to global germplasm data.
It is planned to build a “Clearing House Mechanism” for germplasm.
This data portal is developed in cooperation with GBIF, which is also harvesting global biodiversity data using a similar approach.

OutlookOutlook
The compatibility of data standards between PGR and biodiversity collections made it possible to integrate the worldwide germplasm collections into the biodiversity community.
Using GBIF technology (and contributing to its development), the PGR community can easily establish specific PGR networks without duplicating GBIF's work.
Use of GBIF technology and integration of PGR collection data into GBIF allows PGR users to simultaneously search PGR collections and other biodiversity collections, and to get access to the data (and possibly the material) of relevant biodiversity collections.
Users from the biodiversity community (who may not be aware of the existence of relevant material in genebanks) will find in GBIF genebank material of, e.g. crop wild relatives, along with data of the same species from herbaria, botanical gardens and floristic observations.
