Several research institutions have collections of mammals, which are biological collections that contain important data about the species present in a given region. However, they face problems related to the management of this data and its dissemination, since in many cases this data is stored in spreadsheets, which makes data access and disclosure difficult. This work presents an application that uses the principles of Linked Data and the Darwin Core standard to publish the data of the mammalian collections. It allows accessing data in a friendly way and obtaining more related data, present in other repositories, in order to enrich the data of the samples of species of a collection.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
