3.2. Community catalogues (TECHNOLOGY)

From @ErikaSalazar in this Spanish thread

In Colombia there is the RNC, which maintains the inventory of the country’s biological collections, and allows querying a directory of experts (the curators of the registered collections). You can access the information of each collection and review in more detail the biological groups held, the data about the collection holder, curator(s), types of preservation methods used, level of advance of taxonomic identification, cataloging, etc.

In the Colombian case, it would be ideal to have a separate record for the collections of preserved specimens and for those of living specimens that work as conservation centers exsitu (e.g. zoos, aquaria, botanic gardens).
