If you have biodiversity data that you want the world to know about, who do you
tell?
If you are looking for biodiversity data, where do you look?
Answer: a data catalogue.
At present, the best one I know of for New Zealand biodata is Geodata.govt.nz
<http://www.geodata.govt.nz>, the geospatial and environmental data catalogue,
built by Land Information New Zealand and the Ministry of Science and
Innovation.
There is a wider list of NZ data catalogues at
<http://groups.open.org.nz/howtos/find_data/>.
Not necessarily - try www.nzbrn.org.nz - it has some of the answers and
provides a place to put yours!

You are right. I was not quite clear enough. If you have data, there are
plenty of databases (like <http://www.nzbrn.org.nz/>) where you can put
your data. If you are
looking for a data, there are plenty of datasets (like
<http://www.nzbrn.org.nz/>) that will be useful to you. Data catalogues
will be quite useless to you, other than for finding databases and
datasets that you can use.
Colin, is NZBRN listed in those catalogues? I just tried to find it in
<http://www.geodata.govt.nz/>, <http://data.govt.nz/> and
<http://cat.open.org.nz/> without success.
