DSI and Creative Commons Licences at the Global Biodiversity Information Facility

A video walkthough on the Global Biodiversity Information Facility and the decision by its governing body to adopt Creative Commons licences for over 2.5 billion species occurrence records including over 16 million records for sequence data. The details are discussed in detail in Oldham and Kindness 2022 Sharing Digital Sequence Information. The video is intended more as a practical walk through for members of the International Indigenous Forum on Biodiversity interested in understanding the potential relevance of experience at GBIF for debates on DSI.
