This document discusses three problems related to linking specimens to evidence in biological databases: 1) linking specimens to DNA barcodes, sequences, and literature citations in databases like GBIF, 2) the relationship between physical biological collections and institutions and their digital representations in databases like GBIF, and 3) making Wikipedia pages on species more structured and machine-readable similar to Bouchout declarations. Suggestions are made to map specimen identifiers to other databases, provide live updates of digitization efforts, and allow for user-editable structured data.
GrBio Workshop talk
- 2. Problem 1: Linking specimens to evidence DNA barcodes DNA sequences Literature citations, “material examined” GBIF occurrences
- 4. Problem 1: Linking specimens to evidence • GrBio has rules for generating new specimen codes • Need retrospective rules for recognising specimen codes in literature/databases
- 6. Problem 2: GrBio and GBIF, why? Physical institutions Physical collections Physical institutions Digital collections HTTP Installations
- 7. Problem 3: Putting the bite into Bouchout Wikipedia (multiple languages) Machine-readable wikipedia Publisher, library, digital archive How open is the data?
- 8. Suggestions • Map to other identifiers (GBIF, Wikipedia, BHL, VIAF, Facebook, Twitter) • Live updates of digitisation (GBIF, BHL, GitHub) • User-editable structured data (e.g., Semantic Mediawiki)
