GBIF France hosts this data repository on behalf of GBIF Guinea in collaboration with the GBIF Secretariat, built using an installation of the GBIF Integrated Publishing Toolkit (IPT). GBIF-GUINEE is established within the Centre d'Observation de Surveillance et d'Information Environnementales (COSIE) , the signatory of the GBIF Memorandum of Understanding, as a specialized team working on the collection of biodiversity occurrence data from data publishers to enable their publication on the Internet. The node of GBIF-GUINEE is mandated to collect species occurrence data on the national and international level in order to make these available to data users and decision makers. The data collected and disseminated by COSIE enable the generation of statistics to support decision making by authorities, in order to integrate ecological considerations into programmes and plans for the socio-economic development of Guniea. These ecological considerations have the goal of protection of the environment and biological diversity.

The Hydra repository was a digital archive for the University of Hull. It was developed to hold, manage, preserve and provide access to the growing body of digital material generated through the research, teaching and administrative activities of the University.

The PR2 reference sequence database began as part of the BioMarks project from previous work in the Plankton Group of the Station Biologique of Roscoff. It aims to provide a reference database of carefully annotated 18S rRNA sequences using nine unique taxonomic fields (from domain to species). At present, it contains over 240,000 sequences. Although it focuses on protists, it also contains sequences from metazoa, fungi and plants as well a limited set of 16S sequences from plastids and bacteria. Several metadata fields are available for many sequences, including geo-localisation, whether it originates from a culture or a natural sample, and host type. The annotation of PR2 is performed by experts in each of the taxonomic groups.

MicrobiomeDB is a database of microbiome experiments, and is a data mining platform for interrogating those experiments.

The institutional data repository DataSuds provides IRD scientists and their partners with a service to disseminate, preserve and enhance their multi-disciplinary research data by facilitating their identification and citation. It is one of the elements of the open science system for the South promoted by IRD.

The Cacao Genome Database (CGD) is a database storing information on the genome of Theobroma cacao. The sequenced genotype, Matina 1-6, is representative of the genetic background most commonly found in the cacao producing countries, enabling results to be applied to current commercial cultivars. Before viewing the data, users have to agree that they will not seek any intellectual property protection over the data, including gene sequences contained in the database. The Information Access Agreement allows any cacao breeders and other researchers to freely use the genome information to develop new cacao varieties. This allows for a level playing field and a healthy competitive environment that will ultimately benefit the sustainability of cacao production in the long term.
