GBIF produces digital-first technical documentation on a range of topics relating to biodiversity informatics and open biodiversity data to support the community of practice. Text and other content for these guides are maintained in open GitHub repositories and published into HTML and PDF formats using an open-source publishing toolchain called AsciiDoctor. Translation support is integrated via Crowdin, which provides GBIF with a free non-commercial licence that empowers the efforts of our volunteer translator community.
