Request government agencies to set up timeline to complete the following tasks step by step: (1) Various government agencies, when signing execution agreements on biodiversity investigation-related work, should add a term demanding the surrender of digitized raw data after a project ends. (2) As to how long the data should remain open to the public; what the exchange platform and mechanism for data storage and maintenance should be; and how to divide and integrate the work and to share data; ; they can all be discussed and decided later on. 要 求 各 部 會 能 訂 定 期 程 逐 步 完 成 下 列 工 作 : (1) 政 府 各 機 構 在 各 類 與 生 物 多 樣 性 調 查 相 關 之 計 畫 執 行 同 意 書 中, 加 入 於 計 畫 結 束 後 應 繳 交 原 始 資 料 數 位 檔 的 條 款 (2) 至 於 資 料 應 公 開 之 期 限 交 換 平 台 交 換 機 制 資 料 之 倉 儲 及 維 護, 以 及 各 部 會 內 如 何 分 工 整 合 及 共 享 資 料 等, 均 可 再 作 進 一 步 之 研 議
