What International Working Group on Taxonomic Databases does
Mission
Our organization develops ratifies and promotes data standards and guidelines for the recording and exchange biodiversity information. We also provide a forum for discussing all aspects of biodiversity information management through conferences online discussions and publications.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
We convened our annual conference jointly with GEOBON. org GBIF. org and OBIS. org as LivingData2025. com in Bogota Colombia. Highlights included: - 931 registered participants 711 in person 221 virtual; - 554 simple abstracts published in the conference program. The abstracts posters and links to videos are now openly accessible via the conference program. Also see the LivingData2025 YouTube channel -- https : www.youtube. com @LivingData2025. The Humboldt Institute in Bogota was the conference host and served as the financial manager. The conference broke even and no proceeds were distributed to partner organizations. We paid the airfare and lodging for the Chair of our Board to attend the conference.

One was to our environmental DNA task group which attached a working meeting to the conference of the Genomic Standards Consortium gensc. org which met in Cambridge UK. The TDWG grant helped three participants travel to the meeting. The second grant was to reimburse the travel expenses of the leader of our Technical Architecture Group who traveled to Scotland and Switzerland to work with collaborators to advance a technical specification for digital specimens and further develop a data standard for geological specimens in natural history museums.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $278k to $335k (+21%).
