Figure 1
The distribution of funding organizations for the 63 reporting databases shows none attributed more than four distinct types of funders, with the majority of databases attributing support to only government organizations. Organizational codes are A (academic), C (consortium/collective), G (government), I (industry), P (philanthropic), and S (society/association).

Figure 2
Panel A: Operational responsibilities for 67 long-lived databases are spread across 13 distinct countries. Country codes provided follow the ISO standard, with the exception of “INT” for “international” when operational responsibilities were determined to be split across multiple countries. Panel B: Operational responsibilities for 67 long-lived databases were found to be most likely to fall to academic and government organizations. Organizational codes are A (academic), C (consortium/collective), G (government), I (industry), P (philanthropic), and S (society/association).
