2.1. Scope for the catalogue and definition of “collection” (INFORMATION)

Collections Catalogue
25

From @maperalta in this Spanish thread

  1. Collections must have an institutional basis. Scientific publications should not include material from personal collections that are inaccessible to the rest of the community.
  2. Data sets can involve distinct collections.
  3. Collected material can end up in several collections from distinct institutions.

We should include geological and paleontological collections, anthropological collections, ethnobotanical collections, xylotheques, tissue banks and DNA repositories.
