Some example scenarios: 1. A taxonomist wishes to retrieve data relating to a specimen referenced in a monograph, including any available images, to determine whether to request a loan of the specimen. 1. A researcher has retrieved a sequence from [[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Genbank/index.html][GenBank]] identified as coming from a particular taxon, but the sequence is more than 1% different from all others for the same taxon. The researcher wishes to access the specimen to confirm the identification. ---- Finding Specimens ---+++++ Categories CategoryUseCases@ 1.4 log @ . @ text @d1 1 d14 1 a14 1 Finding Specimens @ 1.3 log @ . @ text @a2 1 Finding Specimens d13 2 @ 1.2 log @ . @ text @d3 1 @ 1.1 log @Initial revision @ text @d10 1 a10 1 1.
