27 Aug '24

Hello GRSciColl Friends, This is a quick email to let you know that if you have missed last week GRSciColl community call, you can watch the recording here: https://vimeo.com/1001951935. We discussed some of the more recent updates like the ability to upload and search collections based on some descriptors (see an example of search for fern collections in American institutions<https://scientific-collections.gbif.org/collection/search?country=US&taxonK…>). I will follow up on some of the topics discussed in the call in the coming weeks. You are also very welcome to join the GRSciColl session<https://www.tdwg.org/conferences/2024/sessions/#sym16> at the TDWG/SPNHC conference next week. Thank you for your help improving GRSciColl!

by Marie Grosjean 19 Aug '24

19 Aug '24

Hello GRSciColl Friends, Good news! GRSciColl can now support the upload of structured collection descriptors. The idea behind collection descriptors is described in our road map here<https://scientific-collections.gbif.org/road-map#2-support-structured-colle…>. This is a very exciting development, and we will be working on refining this new feature. I will present the implementation of collection descriptors on our next community call on Thursday (22nd of August) as well as discuss ideas to integrate the output of institutional surveys in GRSciColl. You can join us by registering here: https://www.gbif.org/event/1FoDQu5gWlZzTVrqCsN7D1/global-registry-of-scient… Also, if you are attending the TDWG-SPNHC 2024 conference<https://www.tdwg.org/conferences/2024/>, consider joining our GRSciColl session<https://www.tdwg.org/conferences/2024/sessions/#sym16>. I will be on site and happy to help editing and discuss more of the GRSciColl developments. I am looking forward to meeting you! Thank you for helping us improve GRSciColl.
