The deliverable D19/D4.4 of the GenRes Bridge project presents the overarching strategy on the documentation on Genetic Resource that has been developed to complement the overarching European Strategy on Genetic Resources (D2.4) and the new specific strategies of the three European networks of conservation of genetic resources, ECPGR, ERFP and EUFORGEN. A brief overview of the current global context concerning data on biodiversity, the achievements and current gaps of the three networks’s documentation activities is provided. This is completed by an overview of some important aspects of the legal frame of constraints and opportunities arising from the current ecosystem of initiatives supporting open science. The strategy proposes to leverage and adapt to the field of documentation on genetic resources the resources developed by the scientific community to support good data management practices compliant to the FAIR principles and ensure the development of a Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable wealth of data on genetic resources. The first set of proposed activities that should be developed at an overarching level by the networks where relevant are: development of standards, technology watch, training, capacity building and awareness raising on the importance of adopting and supporting good data management practices. Ultimately, they aim at increasing the quantity and the quality of data in the central repositories of the networks and at getting these repositories internationally recognized as trusted and FAIR compliant repositories. Another set of activities will allow the three networks to increase their participation in international initiatives developing the guidelines and resources supporting open linked data in relation with research and innovation in the areas of biodiversity, agriculture and forestry.
