Abstract
Connecting the Dots: Aligning human capacity through networks toward a globally interoperable Digital Extended Specimen (DES) infrastructure.

Initiatives across local to global scales have been separately funded to serve different, yet often overlapping audiences of data users,...Ellwood, Elizabeth R. ; Addink, Wouter ; Bates, John ; Bentley, Andrew ; Buschbom, Jutta …
