Descrição

This datasets contains digitised specimens from the Fossil and subfossil mammals collection, including 10 holotypes and 12 paratypes. 25% of the specimes are imaged. This collection, together with several other GRSciColl collections, is maintained in the museum's software for managing collections as a single database named Paleozoological collection and share the same code: BG-NMNHS-PZO.

Dados Sobre o Projeto

The Distributed System of Scientific Collections (DiSSCo) is a new world-class Research Infrastructure (RI) for natural science collections. The DiSSCo RI works for the digital unification of all European natural science assets under common curation and access policies and practices. These aim to make the data easily Findable, more Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable (FAIR). As such, DiSSCo enables the transformation of a fragmented landscape of the crucial natural science collections into an integrated knowledge base that provides interconnected hard evidence on the natural world. DiSSCo represents the largest ever formal agreement between natural history museums, botanical gardens and collection-holding universities in the world. Mission Our mission is to bring up the major Bulgarian biodiversity collections into the Digital Era. As a part of the pan-European DiSSCo RI, we adhere at its mission, which is entirely valid for the present project. It is “to mobilise, unify and deliver biodiversity information at the scale, form and precision required by scientific communities; transforming a fragmented landscape into a coherent and responsive research infrastructure.” Taking into account the specificities of the conceptual and technological level of our collections, we formulate the following mission of DiSSCo- BG: to bring up the major Bulgarian biodiversity collections into the Digital Era. General objective Upgrade the technological, digital and human capacity level of the major biodiversity and geodiversity collections in Bulgaria maintained by IBER-BAS and NMNHS-BAS in order to increase the capacity of collections and collection-based research to meet the needs of the society of modern biodiversity science in line with the existing international standards and to support the efficient Bulgarian participation in the development of the pan-European RI DiSSCo.

Métodos de Amostragem

The specimens were obtained through donations from collectors, staff fieldwork, and exchange with collections of institutions abroad.

Área de Estudo Bulgaria, and adjacent countries
Controle de Qualidade (1) Checking regularly the database in Specify 7 using specifically designed queries for detecting missing or unusual values. (2) Reviewing flags and issues after publishing in GBIF.

Descrição dos passos do método:

  1. During the digitization process, each specimen, upon its first entering in the Paleozoological database, receives automatically a new unique catalogue number using the following format: BG-NMNHS-PZO-############. The old catalogue number as saved as an alternative catalog number.
  2. The information found on the labels, such as old catalogue number, taxon name, locality, date of collection, and the names of collectors and determiners, was transcribed and translated into English before being entered into the database. Names of localities and administrative regions were transliterated using the Bulgarian Law for Transliteration.
  3. To export records from the parent collection BG-NMNHS-PZO that corresponds to this collection, the following rule was used: (1) catalogers' surname is among: Karastoyanova, Nikolov, Nikolova, Spasov. (2) taxonomic class = 'Mammalia'
