Why the need for a database?

<aside> <img src="/icons/light-bulb_yellow.svg" alt="/icons/light-bulb_yellow.svg" width="40px" /> Thousands of research papers report on the detection and characterisation of biosignatures in analogue environments on Earth, and fewer in extraterrestrial planetary contexts. The results being scattered, it prevents any systematic and standardised reporting and statistical analysis of the data.

The vision of the Biosignature Database is to:

➡️ Provide a systematic and standardized framework for data reporting; ➡️ Enable the statistical analysis of scientific findings; ➡️ Enhance the collaboration among the astrobiology community; ➡️ Highlight research gaps;
