<p>Dear European Nodes managers,</p>
<p>Last month, we published a major update of the <a
href="http://data.biodiversity.%20be/">Belgian Biodiversity Data
Portal</a>.<br>
</p>
<p>This portal showcases the Open Biodiversity Data published by
Belgium and its scientific use by Belgian authors.</p>
<p>Our Belgian Data Portal currently features 88 datasets, 11
institutions and 116 scientific publications.<br>
</p>
<p>The portal is based on CKAN, the world’s leading open-source data
portal platform. It takes advantage of GBIF and Mendeley web
services API.<br>
</p>
The dataset metrics feature is derived from gbif-dataset-metrics (by
Datafable) winner of the <a

Nielsen Challenge in 2015</a>.<br>
<br>
Your feedback will be appreciated,<br>
Andre Heughebaert<br>
