How could a comprehensive collections catalogue contribute to improvements to other categories of biodiversity data?
For example, in a field that offers a collection a chance to share major known collectors associated with their organization, IF they use ORCID ID or #wikidata Q numbers, then automated services can be used to link the information in ORCID and Wikidata back to collections’ Agents tables, and vice versa.
If taxonomic groups are shared similarly (with counts and links to CoL+ GUIDS) then we can better understand what makes each collection unique, and better understand what we have (don’t have) collectively.
