Introduction

The goal of this webpage is to provide an overview of the use of different (biodiversity) standards within the institutes. The dashboard is created in the framework of work package 4 of Synthesys+.

List of standards

• CETAF persistent identifier
• IIIF
• Darwin Core (DwC)
• Access to Biological Collection Data v2.06 (ABCD2)
• Access to Biological Collection Data v3.0 (ABCD3)
• Audubon Core (AC)
• Biological Collections Ontology (BCO)
• DEscription Language for TAxonomy (DELTA)

This list of standards is not exhaustive. A larger overview of the different standards can be found at FAIRsharing.org. In case another standard is 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 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^[1]
• Level 2: Machine readable representation for each specimen, accept-type^[2] aware redirection
• Level 3: Machine readable representation is CSPP conform

Extra information

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

NHMW

• IIIF: implemented through the JACQ system

BGM

• CETAF-ID: http://www.botanicalcollections.be/specimen/<barcode>
• IIIF: an exemplar implementation is made. An instance of the Mirador viewer can be found here. A RESTful API is developed to generate the IIIF manifests on the fly: 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 e.g. GBIF

BGBM

• CETAF-ID: [herbarium.bgbm.org/object/B200012401 herbarium.bgbm.org/object/<barcode>]
• IIIF: https://herbarium.bgbm.org/data/iiif/<barcode>/manifest.json

RBGE

• IIIF: Specific webpage provides a summary on the IIIF work

ZFMK

• CETAF-ID: https://id.zfmk.de/collection_ZFMK/page/CollectionSpecimen/<barcode>
• ABCD2: publishing to GBIG, GGBN
• IIIF: under development...

SMNS

• ABCD2: publishing to GBIF

Technical Notes

1. ↑ 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
2. ↑ An identifier with header of 'application/rdf+xml' will be redirected to the objects machine-readable RDF metadata record (you can test this by using the CETAF URI Tester)
