<p class="MsoNormal">.... in my opinion, it would be worth enhancing / adapting the Global Registry of Biological repositories to have as distinct Museum IDs as possible. Also, with a open system that allows various spellings / connotations, it is possible
to integrate e.g. various projects, previous museum abbreviations (which should be kept for any reason), etc.
<br>
<br>
In our fish collection we link voucher IDs & tissue IDs, e.g. ZSM-PIS-043113 / P-AA-0338<br>
ZSM identifies the collection (based on the museum abbreviations as in the Eschmeyer Catalog), PIS identifies the section "Pisces" + running number; tissues are identified by an unambiguous prefix (P= section identifier, AA = project identifier + running number
/ scan ID, etc.)<br>
<br>
In combination with a GUID or similar identifier, we would be able to establish a unique identifier that would serve internal and external (ABS) demands. All further IDs (Scan IDs of DNA-tubes, GenBank numbers, etc.) should be associated to this master ID,
which - ideally - identifies corresponding vouchers (irrespective if in lot based containers, sitting on individual pins, or still stuck in unsorted batch samples).<br>
<br>
DNA-samples - as soon as they are extracted - need individual sample IDs anyway, to allow identification of specimens (regardless of the system applied, e.g. different barcode-scan IDs, numbering, etc.). This also applies for bulk extractions of multiple specimens
or extractions out of storage fluids of containers with multiple specimens, as (in most cases) you need to log & link the resulting sequence to a single specimen (even though you might want to save money & time while lumping and processing samples together).<br>
<br>
Important in my view is, that the DNA-barcode IDs or any other IDs created <u>by researchers</u> (= samples are accessioned at a later point. i.e. after extraction) are 1) unambiguous, 2) correspond to generated accession files and 3) are used as issued for
publication and e.g. GenBank uploads. This has not always been the case (especially point 2), and earlier GenBank entries are a good example for this (don't want to point to others here, just by judging from own experiences from our DNA-repository).<br>
<br>
It might be worth to discuss this in more detail at one of the next SPNHC meetings (Gainsville and/or Berlin), and perhaps to launch a small workgroup that could present first ideas open for discussion ?!?<br>
<br>
All the best<br>

<br>
UAM:Ento:247065<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Thus the GUIDs denote records (identifications), the barcodes are for the containers the parts are in (or in the case of pins, on).<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Therefore, 10,000 of our vials might represent 30,000 records if there is an average of 3 taxa identified per vial. (This is common for projects with lots of specimens, we only mount on pins or otherwise isolate a representative series
of each taxon).<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Preparations / parts (eg a leg in a cryovial) are listed under the single GUID with each container getting its own barcode. In many cases we have just one part 'whole organism'. A single specimen (one GUID)
could have 3 parts (3 barcodes): body, cryovial leg, and genitalia slide.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I like this way of managing bulk samples. For example, a trap sample can be entered simply as one record 'Arthropoda' or, if inspected, a separate record for each identification in the sample (Coleoptera, Hemiptera, Hymenoptera, etc) can
be made. This allows this sample to be found if someone is searching for any of these taxa.<br>
<br>
If all the Coleoptera are then removed from the sample and pinned, the Coleoptera record from the bulk trap sample can be turned into a pinned specimen record and cloned to make all the remaining pinned specimen records.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">We are just now loaning out a long series of pinned flies that have phoretic or parasitic mites on them. Each pinned fly has two records in Arctos - one for the fly and one for the mites. Both share the container 'pin' with a shared barcode.
If the mites get moved to a vial or slide, their barcodes will change. Relationships between the fly and mite will link these records together, for example a beetle related to a vial of mites

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">For spiders in vials (eg 10 specimens of 1 species) that we DNA barcode, rather than make a new vial (which would require a new database record, new label, etc). We put the spider from which a leg was removed
inside a genitalia vial inside the larger vial and a new small label that indicates the spider in the genitalia vial is a DNA barcode voucher. If the spider is too large for this we do transfer it to a new vial. We have plans to move all our specimens that
were successfully DNA barcoded to cryovials into our -70 freezers to better preserve their remaining genomic material.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
<br>
don't want to add lengthy comments, so just briefly:<br>
<br>
The entering into force of the Nagoya Protocol stipulates specific reporting requirements, for those
<b>collections based in countries that ratified the NP</b>. Among other, <b><i>unique identifiers</i></b><i>
</i>allowing tracing and origin of genetic resources <b>should be applied soon.</b> Application of unique identifiers will be part of and further detailed in the reporting obligations of respective countries.<br>
<br>
To confirm previous comments: yes, we do need a flexible system that allows application of
<i>unique identifiers</i> to identify batch samples, unsorted materials, etc. and
<i>unique</i> should not be confused with identifiers for individual specimens (as some political decision makers did during discussions towards the European ABS-legislation).<br>
<br>
Unique identifiers should be unique - many molecular barcoding / digitalisation projects apply various kinds of barcodes, without testing if these are really unique (a high probability rate that barcodes would surely be not duplicated is not sufficient in this
context).<br>
<br>
Any barcode or decimal numbering is <b><i>not unique</i></b>, because "123456.077" might appear as number in various collections or museums, may perfectly translates into other types of numberings (e.g. telephone / insurance / account numbers), and even adding
an abbreviation for the institute , e.g. INST-123456.077 might <br>
a) not result in a be unique ID inside this museum, e.g. if various collections / sections inside this museum use a similar numbering system, e.g. compinations of accession dates & specimen numbers, as John suggested (2014.11.3)<br>
b) not be unique globally for natural history specimens, unless we do have a obligatory list of Museum abbreviations that excludes any duplications<br>
<br>
Similar applies e.g. for GenBank numbers; GenBank numbering might be unique inside GenBank, but the encoding does not allow to decipher in which collection the corresponding specimen is deposited.
<br>
<br>
This adds an second field that should be considered in this discussion, how can we link
<i>unique identifiers </i>with <i>unique museum references.</i> We need a kind of master ID, especially for the tissue and DNA collections and publication of samples stored in these collections.<br>
<br>
Sadly, this receives limited attention at the moment, even though many barcoding & digitisation projects outbid each other to gather & publish specimen data. I would appreciate if we could enter a active discussion how to deal with this.<br>
<br>
All the best<br>
Dirk <br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">So can we envision a system where the unique identifier for the 77th specimen on a microscope slide can also be used as part of
the object retrieval process? Or have we decided that, given a unique identifier for the 77th specimen, I'm better off having to go to the database to reference the museum object's ID before heading into the compactors? Does anyone have a significant objection
to the decimal INST-123456.077 to uniquely refer to the 77th specimen in/on museum object INST-123456?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
