Collections’ digitisation is a priority in many natural history collections, and publicly available datasets are expanding rapidly. The potential value of collections remains largely untapped even modern research, because the vast scope dwarfs current efforts at data mobilisation. Collections continually expanding, there an estimated 3 billion undigitised specimen records worldwide. In this review, we use simple model to illustrate that global will not succeed until late 21 st century earliest, unless new technologies harnessed commitments by funding bodies society made. As advance toward digitisation, equally important consideration majority these digital only represent fraction information potentially from collection objects. term “collectomics” was coined discussions within Senckenberg institution as phrase for frameworks embrace all future knowledge derived specimens. This expands on concept museomics, which originally defined focus molecular generated museum Rooted extended specimen, collectomics encompasses metadata, images, traits, DNA, further extracted with yet unknown applications, connected environmental other historical contextual information. Thus, view under limited but directly integrates evolutionary, ecosystem social sciences, including human contributions collectors, donors, researchers past future. A envisions seamless integration multidimensional specimen-based data, interoperability among historical, artistic, ethnographic, generate needed tackle challenges.

The paper summarises many years of discussions and experience biodiversity publishers, organisations, research projects individual researchers, proposes recommendations for implementation persistent identifiers article metadata, structural elements (sections, subsections, figures, tables, references, supplementary materials others) data specific to (taxonomic treatments, treatment citations, taxon names, material gene sequences, specimens, scientific collections) in taxonomy publishing. best practices on how should be used the different cases they can minted, cited, expressed backend XML facilitate conversion further re-use content as FAIR data. also discusses several routes post-publication semantically enhanced through large aggregators such Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF), International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration (INSDC) others, specifications both tags that purpose. A summary table provides an account overview recommendations. guidelines are supported with examples from existing publishing practices.

Today, at the international level, powerful data portals are available to biodiversity researchers and policymakers, offering increasingly robust computing network capacities capable services for internationally agreed-on standards. These accelerate individual complex workflows map data-driven research processes or even make them possible first time. At national however, alongside these developments, infrastructures needed take on tasks that cannot be easily funded addressed internationally. To avoid gaps, as well redundancies in landscape, responsibilities must clearly defined align efforts with core priorities. In present article, we outline 10 essential functions of infrastructures. They serve key providers, facilitators, mediators, platforms effective management, integration, analysis require foster science, policy, practice.

Abstract The NCBI Taxonomy resource (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/taxonomy) has long been a trusted, curated hub for organism names, classifications, and links to related data all taxonomic nodes. Datasets (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/datasets/) is an improved way leverage the rich available at so users can effectively browse, search, download information. While taxonomy cornerstone of since its inception, we recently extended information via by updating existing page, implementing new name details expanding programmatic access command-line tools APIs improving handle queries connect gene genome data. This paper highlights these improvements provides examples help harness features.

A consensus among biologists has been growing in recent years for the development of a global list accepted species (and other taxa). To date, much discussion focused on visions how such would benefit many scientific and societal disciplines. Less emphasis placed understanding technical challenges compiling maintaining list. Challenges include details implementation as defining what each entry represents, scope (taxonomic breadth), granularity (only species, all taxonomic ranks, unnamed operational units), level confidence status individual entries. The specific properties minimum information requirements items need to be defined, process ensuring accuracy, consistency, noting uncertainties, needs adopted. Perhaps greatest challenge is developing procedures by which created, updated, maintained. Considerations incorporate obscure newly described taxa, extent review process, mechanisms arbitrating disputes or alternative viewpoints will addressed through an open transparent with broad engagement from multiple communities. Details concerning can accessed, it maintained, way its contents are properly cited determined. Many these issues have considered sometimes solved Catalogue Life, should serve core foundation actual any species.

Abstract In a recent commentary, Lima (Ornithol Res 30:225–228, 2022a) claims that the Brazilian Ornithological Records Committee (CBRO) bases its species ranking decisions on misinterpretation of general lineage concept (GLSC), with two major detrimental consequences: (1) misinform ornithological community about nature interspecific limits and (2) mislead users CBRO checklist “…about taxa it contains.” Here, I review arguments behind Lima’s demonstrate they are unfounded stem from an inaccurate interpretation GLSC coupled lack understanding differences between inherent theoretical concepts their actual implementation in real-life situations by taxonomists taxonomy committees particular. Accordingly, provide several examples taxonomic treatments implemented CBRO, confirming as guiding committee. If not addressed properly, unsubstantiated commentaries such put forward — which cast serious doubts standards upon checklists produced may have unintended effect amplifying current representation bias against Latin American ornithologists global initiatives publication single worldwide avian checklist.

Plant and animal checklists, with conservation status information, are fundamental for management. Historical field data, more recent data of digital origin data-sharing platforms provide useful sources collating species locality data. However, different biodiversity datasets have formats inconsistent naming systems. Additionally, most do not an easy option download by protected area. Further, data-entry-ready software is readily available organization staff limited technical skills to collate these heterogeneous create distribution maps checklists areas. The insights presented here the outcome conceptualizing a information system South African National Parks. We recognize that requirement achieving better standardization, sharing use capacity building, internet connectivity, national institutional management support collaboration. focus on some issues need be considered standardization support. outline using taxonomic backbones standardizing utility from Global Biodiversity Information Facility other in this process. we make recommendations fields needed relational databases can used inform decisions steps taken enable easier collation Africa as case study.
