Abstract Life on Earth is sustained by complex interactions between organisms and their environment. These biotic interactions can be captured in datasets and published digitally. We describe a review process of such an openly accessible digital interactions dataset of known origin, and discuss their outcome. The dataset under review (aka globalbioticinteractions/universityces2023) has size 128KiB and contains 20 interactions with 4 unique types of associations (e.g., flowersVisitedBy) between 9 primary taxa (e.g., Xanthosoma) and 11 associated taxa (e.g., Cyclocephala tutilina Burmeister, 1847). The report includes detailed summaries of interactions data as well as a taxonomic review from multiple perspectives. Please note that the pilot contributors have opted to shared their review, metadata, and data. This means that data appendices in the data review are available in review-report.zip filename description index.pdf data review report as pdf index.docx data review report as docx index.md data review report as markdown index.html data review report as html review-report.zip archive of review reports and associated data
