Biocuration is a difficult mission: biological data is highly heterogeneous, and there are few areas where guidelines for data preservation and exchange exist. This has hampered the speed, quantity and diversity of data possible to capture. Hence, a major challenge for the biocuration community is to explore innovative ways to capture, represent and display information. It is also essential to increase the involvement of researchers, publishers and funding agencies in this process. I will discuss the work of the International Society for Biocuration to build a community of biocurators to achieve these goals
