WikiPathways was established to facilitate the contribution and maintenance of pathway information by the biology community. WikiPathways is an open, collaborative platform dedicated to the curation of biological pathways. WikiPathways thus presents a new model for pathway databases that enhances and complements ongoing efforts, such as KEGG, Reactome and Pathway Commons. Building on the same MediaWiki software that powers Wikipedia, we added a custom graphical pathway editing tool and integrated databases covering major gene, protein, and small-molecule systems. The familiar web-based format of WikiPathways greatly reduces the barrier to participate in pathway curation. More importantly, the open, public approach of WikiPathways allows for broader participation by the entire community, ranging from students to senior experts in each field. This approach also shifts the bulk of peer review, editorial curation, and maintenance to the community.

In 2018, the Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation has included in its roadmap the creation of a new infrastructure called the National Biodiversity Data Centre (PNDB). The PNDB's missions are part of a FAIR (Easy to Find, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) approach, and consist in - providing access to datasets and metadata, associated services and products derived from the analyses - promoting scientific leadership to identify gaps and foster the emergence of community-driven systems of users and producers - facilitate the sharing of practices with other research communities, encourage the sharing of data and their reuse, and be part of the reflection on the future Earth System infrastructure. - promote coherence with national, European and international efforts concerning access to and use of biodiversity research data and the promotion of products and services. The PNDB is supported by the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle, more specifically by the UMS 2006 PatriNat, a MNHN CNRS and AFB unit. The project is closely linked with the FRB and several of its founding institutions (AFB, BRGM, CIRAD, CNRS, Ifremer, INERIS, INRA, IRD, IRSTEA, MNHN, Univ. Montpellier).
