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/hivetracks2023) has size 84.2KiB and contains 1 interaction with 1 unique type of association (e.g., pollinatedBy) between 1 primary taxon (e.g., Trifolium repens) and 1 associated taxon (e.g., Apis mellifera ligustica). The report includes detailed summaries of interactions data as well as a taxonomic review from multiple catalogs. Please note that the pilot contributors have opted to provide open access to their metadata and review. Their data is available on request. 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 eml.xml metadata as expressed in Ecological Metadata Language
