Actionable, long-term stable and semantic web compatible identifiers for access to biological collection objects

Abstract: With biodiversity research activities being increasingly shifted to the web, the need for a system of persistent and stable identifiers for physical collection objects becomes increasingly pressing. The Consortium of European Taxonomic Facilities agreed on a common system of HTTP-URI-based stable identifiers which is now rolled out to its member organizations. The system follows Linked Open Data principles and implements redirection mechanisms to human-readable and machine-readable representations of specimens… Show more

“…Identifiers come in a range of formats, such as DOIs (Digital Object Identifiers), and have varying attributes and levels of adoption, but the key factors are global uniqueness, resolvability, persistence, discoverability, and authority (Guralnick et al, 2018). Without these characteristics, communication and interoperability between databases is compromised (Güntsch et al, 2017), and the records are at risk of duplication or even loss. Therefore, awareness and usage of persistent identifiers by the research community is critical.…”

“…Existing RDF providers, such as members of the Consortium of European Taxonomic Facilities (CETAF), adopt this approach (Güntsch et al 2017). In contrast, describe a more elaborate model of an occurrence that separates entities, such as events, localities, identifications, and specimens.…”

“…Recently, the Consortium of European Taxonomic Facilities (CETAF; http://cetaf.org/) adopted the approach of using actionable, web-based uniform resource identifiers (http-URIs) for physical objects (Güntsch et al, 2017). The advantage of this approach is the immediate linkage of the physical object with its digital representation.…”
