Données institutionnelles et données contributives sur la biodiversité, quelle légitimité ?

Abstract

Conservation policies for biodiversity, major consumers of spatial data, is now facing a double movement: The lack of public funding for environmental recognition and the rise of participatory mapping. Official information, which is developing with difficulty, is today overwhelmed by the plethora of information unofficially gathered and published on the Internet. This is a discussion of the legitimacy of such data and its admissibility by conservation policies.
