Description: USGS Biodiversity Information Serving Our Nation (BISON) is a unique, web-based Federal mapping resource for species occurrence data in the United States and its Territories. Researchers collect species occurrence data, records of an organism at a particular time in a particular place, as a primary or ancillary function of many biological field investigations. Presently, these data reside in numerous distributed systems and formats (including publications) and are consequently not being used to their full potential. As a step toward addressing this challenge, the Core Science Analytics, Synthesis, and Libraries (CSAS&L) program of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is developing Biodiversity Information Serving Our Nation (BISON), an integrated and permanent resource for biological occurrence data from the United States. BISON will leverage the accumulated human and infrastructural resources of the long-term USGS investment in research and information management and delivery. Read the DOI Official Press Release in which BISON's public debut was announced. The USGS CSAS&L program is also the U.S. Node of the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF), an international, government-initiated and funded effort focused on making biodiversity data freely available for scientific research, conservation and sustainable development. USGS CSAS&L hosts a full mirror of the hundreds of millions of global records to which GBIF provides access. BISON was first released in April 2013 and included 110 million records made available through GBIF from the U.S. and U.S. Territories. In November, 2015 BISON passed the 260 million record count and is continuing to integrate millions more records from other sources each year.
