---+ BCI Functionality
|
|
|
|
---++ Top Priority
|
|
1 Disambiguation of an acronym.
|
|
1 synchronize with existing data source
|
|
1 Getting from a DwC institution:collection couplet to a web-service or web-page (not necessarily getting the specimen information but getting something informative).
|
|
1 Standard URI string for web-service access to collections. Allow insertion of DwC catalog number into a query to retrieve basic information.
|
|
1 Resource discovery/survey (populating the database with missing collections)
|
|
1 Prioritizing digitization resource. Comparison between what they say they hold and how much is in GBIF.
|
|
1 Nomenclature types focus.
|
|
1 Taxonomic Scope - down to as fine a granularity as possible i.e. species.
|
|
|
|
---++ Promotion
|
|
* "Annual Report of the Biodiversity Collections Index" - State of the nation.
|
|
* Statistical reports on ongoing basis.
|
|
* Targeted reports for different purposes.
|
|
|
|
---++ Resource Discovery
|
|
* Finding a specimen record from an inst/col/cat combination. (beyond scope)
|
|
* Biggest Fish in India
|
|
* Collections containing frozen material.
|
|
* Finding people who can check distribution records in GBIF.
|
|
* All the collections exhibited in 1893 at museum X.
|
|
* Location of all the specimens (materials) from a particular expedition
|
|
* Finding the specimens for which have associated archival materials.
|
|
* Regional portal. Give me a view of where all the material collected from this region is housed.
|
|
* Which collections contain types.
|
|
* Mobilizing collections for a common purpose (raise cash!).
|
|
* Finding publications/use of material from our collection/institution (incl. genbank)
|
|

|
|
* Similar collections
|
|

|
|
* ESCROW?
|
|
* Personal collections.
|
|
* Movement of collections.
|
|
|
|
---++ Gap Analysis
|
|
* Gap analysis (geographic access) - where do we believe collections should be located but aren't.
|
|
* Gap analysis (geographic scope of collections) - where do we not have material from.
|
|
* Gap analysis (taxonomic scope of collections) - what groups are under represented.
|
|
* Gap analysis (preservation type X taxonomy)
|
|
* Under studied taxa.
|
|
* Prioritizing digitization resource.
|
|
|
|
---++ Access to Materials/Data
|
|
* Access - policy to a collection.
|
|
* Access - is there a physical catalog
|
|
* Access - is there a digital catalog
|
|
* Finding fish specimens available for destructive sampling.
|
|
|
|
---++ Resource Allocation /
|
|
* Under studied collections i.e. we know they exist but we don't know what is in them.
|
|
* All collections in need of immediate physical curation.
|
|
* All collections in need of digitization,
|
|
* Collections in peril.
|
|
* Collections in a war zone.
|
|
|
|
---++ Implementation Issues
|
|
* What does this acronym mean?
|
