View source for Standards compliance dashboard

=Introduction=
The goal of this webpage is to provide an overview of the use of different (biodiversity) standards within the European museums and herbaria. The dashboard is created in the framework of work package 4 of [https://www.synthesys.info/ Synthesys+].

The table contains a list of standards (columns) and institutes (rows). Whenever an institute is using one of the standards, the corresponding cell is colored yellow. For some of the standards, extra information is given in the cell (level of adopting the standard or version of the standard used).

=List of standards=

The different standards considered in this dashboard are listed here. Links to a more detailed description on the standard are given.

This list of standards is not exhaustive and this is not a complete overview. In a first version of this dashboard, we focus on some of the more widely used/known standards in biodiversity informatics. A larger overview of the different standards can be found at [https://fairsharing.org/ FAIRsharing.org]. In case another (important) standards are supported and missing from the list, don't hesitate to propose an addition.

=Adoption of the CETAF stable identifier=

A full overview on the adoption of the CETAF stable identifier can be found [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vHl2xDghffm6HfQhVeruHV6ZAWAnrc-2LPasq0fOyF4/edit#gid=83189964 here]. This document contains the syntax that is used by the different institutes.

In the table above, the level of adoption of the CETAF stable identifier is indicated. The levels are defined as follows:
* Level 0: Identifier syntax chosen
* Level 1: Web page for each specimen, identifier redirects to it<ref name="redirect-code-notice">If a redirect is implemented it should be the HTTP response status code 303 “See Other” instead of the sometimes used 302 code “Found” or “Moved Temporarily” which is hard to tell how the client would interpret it</ref>
* Level 2: Machine readable representation for each specimen, accept-type<ref name="redirect-accept-type">An identifier with HTTP Header <code>Accept</code> of '<code>application/rdf+xml</code>' will be redirected to or will issue the objects of the machine-readable RDF metadata record (you can test this by using the [http://herbal.rbge.info/search.php CETAF URI Tester])</ref> aware redirection or aware content output
* Level 3: Machine readable representation is [[CSPP|{{Abbr|CSPP|CETAF Specimen Preview Profile (CSPP)}}]] conform

=Extra information=
This section will provide the possibility to detail more on the adoption of the different standards. 

== NHM ==
* Example of CETAF ID:  [http://data.nhm.ac.uk/object/8846cc56-b2f3-4e0a-9a43-6c75dfd27724 http://data.nhm.ac.uk/object/<id>]
* DwC is used when data is published to the [http://data.nhm.ac.uk data portal]


* Collections and bio/geodiversity data:
**Darwin Core: A set of Darwin Core fields have been implemented in the Collections Management System (EMu). These are not part of the core schema, but are mapped to from EMu's native fields and updated daily via a script. The NHM Data Portal publishes collection data in Darwin Core format to the extent of the standard.
**LOD-related: The NHM Data Portal has implemented N3, Turtle, XML and JSON-LD formats for LOD, with vocabularies used listed at view-source:https://data.nhm.ac.uk/catalog.ttl. It uses the DCAT standard (https://www.w3.org/TR/vocab-dcat-2/) for describing data catalogues.
**Gradstein and Ogg (2012) timescale for Chronostratigraphy: Used for chronostratigraphy module in the CMS and Data Portal. Likely to be updated to the International Chronostratigraphic Chart  (http://www.stratigraphy.org/index.php/ics-chart-timescale) at some point in the future.

*Molecular:
**GGBN data standards (https://wiki.ggbn.org/ggbn/GGBN_Data_Standard): Not yet incorporated into the NHM's freezer management software (FreezerPro), but mapped to when publishing data to GGBN. Included in the NHM's collection data standards, and also used for a number of molecular datasets e.g. ABYSSLINE deep-sea benthic macroinvert dataset.
**OBIS-ENV-DATA: DwC extension used for marine environmental datasets

*Digital media:
**IIIF: Not yet implemented in the Data Portal, as the DAMS which serves images to the Portal doesn't support it (and won't in the forseeable future). There is also an ongoing project to transfer collection images from tape to faster disk storage, once complete the Data Portal team will build a IIIF service to sit on top of the Portal architecture. This will piloted beforehand on a beetle drawer annotation system.

*Geospatial:
**GADM (https://gadm.org/index.html): Used in the CMS and Data Portal for site data
**INSPIRE (https://defradigital.blog.gov.uk/2015/02/25/inspired/): A long-standing aspiration to use these for geo standards in the Data Portal, but not implemented yet. ISO international country and admin standards are a must, and are embedded in the INSPIRE standards to a degree.

*Library materials:
**Resource Description and Access (RDA)
**Descriptive Cataloguing of Rare Materials (DCRM)
**MARC 21
**Library of Congress Name Authority File (LCNAF)
**Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH)
**Library of Congress Genre/Form Terms (LCGFT)

*Archives:
**ISAD(G) (General International Standard Archival Description): Used for archive cataloguing
**ISAAR(CPF) (International Standard Archival Authority Record for Corporate Bodies, Persons and Families) and NCA Rules (NCA Rules for the Construction of Personal, Place and Corporate Names): Used for authority records

* IIIF: an exemplar implementation is made. An instance of the Mirador viewer can be found [http://oxalis.br.fgov.be/mirador here]. A RESTful API is developed to generate the IIIF manifests on the fly: [http://iiif-manifest.oxalis.br.fgov.be/specimen/BR0000014516306/manifest http://iiif-manifest.oxalis.br.fgov.be/specimen/<barcode>/manifest]. At the moment, manifests are only generated based on the barcode. The IIIF 2.1 APIs (image and presentation) are implemented. The image API is provided by the Loris server and the source images are in JPG format.
* DwC: this standard is used to publish data to the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF)

== BGBM==
* CETAF-ID:  [https://herbarium.bgbm.org/object/B200012401 herbarium.bgbm.org/object/<barcode>]

* ABCD: the standard is used for publishing specimen and observational data to GBIF, BioCASe, OpenUp (Euoropeana), GFBio (German Federation for Biological Data) as well as various Special Interest Networks.
* SDD: implemented into the EDIT Platform for Cybertaxonomy (http://www.cybertaxonomy.org) as an interface for descritptive data software systems.

== RBGE==
* DwC: We publish our herbarium and living collections data to GBIF (and anyone else who wants it) through daily updated DwC Archive files.
** [http://data.rbge.org.uk/service/dwca/data/darwin_core.zip  Herbarium Specimens] The herbarium data includes links to scans of our specimens.
** [http://data.rbge.org.uk/service/dwca/data/darwin_core_living.zip  Living Collection DwCa] The living collection data includes links to photographs of plants in cultivation and in the wild.
* CETAF IDs: All our herbarium specimens and living collection specimens are identified by CETAF ID. e.g.
** [http://data.rbge.org.uk/herb/E00421509 http://data.rbge.org.uk/herb/E00421509]
** [http://data.rbge.org.uk/living/19731361 http://data.rbge.org.uk/living/19731361]
* The RDF metadata returned by our CETAF URIs includes links to other resources that we intend to build on over the next year. Currently the data includes links to:
** A limited number of collectors based on ORCID or Wikidata URIs
** IIIF Manifest files for herbarium specimen images
** JPEG images
* We have developed and maintain the [http://herbal.rbge.info/ CETAF Specimen URI Tester] which is a resource to test/validate/develop CETAF Specimen URIs
