There are more than 6 million ex situ accessions of agricultural and horticultural crops conserved worldwide by genebanks (seed banks) according to FAO.
The passport data from most genebank datasets worldwide are indexed by EURISCO (European genebanks), SINGER (International CGIAR organizations) or USDA-GRIN (USDA ARS National Germplasm Repositories). Summary meta data on the datasets are collected and indexed by the FAO WIEWS database (World Information and Early Warning System on Plant Genetic Resources). FAO WIEWS. The World Information and Early Warning System (WIEWS ) on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (PGRFA) [http://apps3.fao.org/wiews/wiews.jsp].

The schema has been design for biological data, but is applicable to other knowledge areas as well. It is based on work of the TDWG SDD and ABCD subgroups and currently jointly authored by the SDD, ABCD, TaxonName subgroups and by GBIF (Global Biodiversity Information Facility). The framework may be used without changes for new schemata, no registration is necessary. * Complex Types are part of the UBIF infrastructure (TDWG common complex type for several schemas, ABCD, SDD, TCS, Lnnean Core, etc.)
GCP_Passport v 1.03 [http://tor.ngb.se/dev/temp/gcp_passport_01_03.xsd] The GCP Passport 1.03 descriptor standard is based on the MCPD and ABCD standards and implemented for the PyWrapper/BioCASE data exchange software. A mapping for automatic “upgrade” between ABCD 2.06 and GCP_Passport_1.03 is also included in the PyWrapper/BioCASE software. The Generation Challenge Programme is a research and capacity building network that uses plant genetic diversity, advanced genomic science, and comparative biology to develop tools and technologies that enable plant breeders in the developing world to produce better crop varieties for resource-poor farmers.
