Through the WoRMS Steering Committee, WoRMS has formal agreements with GBIF, Encyclopedia of Life, Species 2000 and others. The WoRMS Steering Committee approves the provision of copies of WoRMS, and other databases to third parties upon application.
WoRMS is the official taxonomic reference list for OBIS, and has been similarly licensed to 299 organizations around the world (see overview below). This register of species names will promote accuracy, eliminate redundancy, and overall serve to strengthen other species initiatives in providing reliable, scientifically accurate information on the web.
