[Nhcoll-l] Vouchers and specimen citation tracking

[Deborah Paul]

Hi All,

RE: Vouchers and specimen citation tracking (Shoobs, Nate) (Derek Sikes)

On this topic, you both write about a more-or-less "liberal" approach to 
specimen citations, e.g. if the specimen is in the dataset for the 
research, not necessarily cited explicitly in the text of the 
publication. This makes sense to me as if one is doing niche modeling, 
for example, you many have thousands of data-points from specimens used 
in the analysis.

My question to Nate and Derek is how did you discover that your 
specimens are in that specific dataset?

Are you both using Bionomia and GBIF to do this discovery? If so, how 
would you ever hope to do this, w/o Bionomia?

Nate, as you store this information locally, with plans to extend the 
reach / scope of these data, does that mean you're also storing and 
sharing people identifiers for the people who collected / identified / 
georeferenced, etc said specimens?

Curious minds,
Debbie
