The session will discuss new objectives and scope for the group, and to agree on an updated charter to underpin this. The Biodiversity Data Integration IG is one of the oldest thematic groups in RDA. Over time the group charter has become outdated and new objectives need to be discussed to  make the group purposeful and active again. In the last two plenaries there was no group meeting and no progress has been made on redefining the group purpose and scope. It is important that we now do so during P15 as there are many developments in the field of biodiversity data now that would benefit with alignment of developments in other scientific domains and vice versa. Examples are the global movement to FAIR data, implementing RDA recommendations towards a FAIR DO infrastructure for specimen with Natural Science Identifiers, an extended Catalogue of Life and a global alliance for biodiversity knowledge.
