FAIR Digital Object and Natural Science Collections data
One of the key elements of DiSSCo’s data infrastructure design is the ‘Digital Specimen’ -- a FAIR Digital Object acting as a digital representation on the Internet for a specific physical specimen in a collection. The ideas for the Digital Object as an element in a data infrastructure was proposed in the output on virtual layer recommendations by the Data Fabric IG and in the basic vocabulary from the Data Foundation and Terminology WG.
