Update on the
NZ Bioeconomy Science Institute WiR
In March Ambrosia10 published several documents outlining the data models for both type specimen Wikidata items and the structured data for Wikimedia Commons specimen image files. The documentation also included crosswalks to
Darwin Core
, an excel spreadsheet showing an example upload via OpenRefine, and two "how to" documents supporting the use of these data models. This documentation was created as part of the
Wikidata:WikiProject Natural History Specimen Data Model
, a collaboration with
Dactylantha
from the
Auckland Museum
and is linked to on that project page. These documents have also been published in a
Zenodo community
to broaden access to the same.
