The IABIN Pollinators Thematic Network, (CoE, ITIS, NBII, USP and other partners) is working with CRIA, GBIF and FAO on development of three schemas for pollinator data exchange. Each schema is an extension to the DarwinCore schema. These schema projects are each described in detail on the Biodiversity Information Standards (TDWG) wiki web site. If you would like to participate in the development of these schemas or find out more about them, please visit their respective wiki web sites.

[Species] Interaction Extension
The Interaction Extension is being designed for data that describes interactions between organisms in a broad sense (it is not restricted to pollinators).

Pollination Extension
The Pollination Extension is an extension of the [Species] Interaction Extension Schema, but with a more specific focus on data that describes pollinator interactions.

Environment Measurements Extension
The Environment Measurements focuses on other data, such as field measurements, that can be important for describing pollinators in some cases.
