Abstrakti

The NOW database of fossil mammals came to be through a confluence of several initiatives spanning multiple decades. The first public version of NOW database was released in 1996 and the first Advisory BoardNOW Databaseadvisory board was established the year after. Originally, NOW stood for Neogene of the Old World but with the gradual expansion of the database the acronym was eventually reassigned to stand for New and Old Worlds. The structure of what would become NOW was originally cloned from the ETE databaseEvolution of Terrestrial Ecosystems (ETE) Database of the Smithsonian Institution and the first NOW version accessible over the internet was a node of the ETE databaseEvolution of Terrestrial Ecosystems (ETE) Database. The first standalone, online version of NOW was launched in 2005 and the first formal steering groupNOW Databasesteering group was established in 2009. During its existence, NOW has been funded, directly or indirectly, by several organizations but fundamentally it has always been an unfunded community effort, dependent on voluntary work by the participants.
