Transition your data NOW

While we develop the new VertNet data portal, we have have begun to upload data sets to the new platform. The new VertNet will take advantage of the Integrated Publishing Toolkit (IPT), an open-source web application developed by GBIF with noteworthy assistance from the informatics community, including VertNet.

Over the next several months, members of the VertNet team will work with existing data publishers to transition their data sets over to the new VertNet. We’ll also work to establish new data publishers in the network. In all cases we’re looking forward to working closely with everyone to create a great biodiversity resource.

Learn more about IPT and our transition process in our Publishers section of the site.
