We developed the WildLIVE platform to enable curation, analysis and mobilization of data from high-throughput biodiversity monitoring for European and global cross-domain data space pro-grams. The platform implements “webby” FAIR Digital Objects leveraging on RO-Crate and FAIR Signposting to foster self-contained operation of machines on contained digital resources (machine actionability).
