The Coordinating Institution for the Species and Specimenes Thematic
Network is a Consortium leads by "Instituto
Nacional de Biodiversidad de Costa Rica" INBio. The members
of the consortrium are:
The goal is to implement an electronic and institutional network dedicated
to regional specimen information. Some of the specimen data of any given
country resides in its own museums and herbariums, although a significant
part of the data resides in museums outside the country or hemisphere.
Repatriation of specimen data will be an important consideration in the
implementation of the TN for Specimens. In coordination with other TNs,
the ultimate objective is to allow the user to consult the specimens,
species and ecosystems networks in an integrated manner.
General Objective
To define and implement the architecture, tools, standards and protocols
to access specimen information located in institutions throughout the
region, by using distributed access standards (probably those defined
by GBIF and adapted to the necessities of IABIN).
