Specimen and sample metadata standards for biodiversity genomics: a proposal from the Darwin Tree of Life project.
The vision of the is to complete reference genomes for all of the planet’s ~2M described eukaryotic species in the coming decade. To contribute to this global endeavour, the (DToL ) was launched in 2019 with the aim of generating complete genomes for the ~70k described eukaryotic species that can... -

Identifying Novel Features from Specimen Data for the Prediction of Valuable Collection Trips.
Primary biodiversity data provide “what, where, and when” data points: the assertion that a species occurred at a particular point in space and time. These are most valuable when associated with specimens stored in natural history museums and herbaria, which evidence the assertions with reference to a physical specimen. The...Nicolson, Nicky ; Tucker, Allan

People are essential to linking biodiversity data.
People are one of the best known and most stable entities in the biodiversity knowledge graph. The wealth of public information associated with people and the ability to identify them uniquely open up the possibility to make more use of these data in biodiversity science. Person data are almost always...Groom, Quentin ; Güntsch, Anton ; Huybrechts, Pieter ; Kearney, Nicole ; Leachman, Siobhan …

No one-size-fits-all solution to clean GBIF.
Species occurrence records provide the basis for many biodiversity studies. They derive from georeferenced specimens deposited in natural history collections and visual observations, such as those obtained through various mobile applications. Given the rapid increase in availability of such data, the control of quality and accuracy constitutes a particular concern....
