Botanical Collections

Botanical Collections is a data portal developed and hosted by Meise Botanic Garden, where the digitized herbarium specimens and the living collection accessions of the Garden can be consulted. As evidenced by its generic name, the portal's scope is wider than just the Garden's collections and includes other botanical collections in Belgium or any other interested institutions abroad. As of 2022, a few other Belgian collections can already be found on the platform and more are expected to be added in the context of the DiSSCo Flanders project (https://dissco-flanders.be). The portal allows users to search for specimens by various data elements such as kind of specimen, taxonomy, collector and location. Users can also view high resolution images and see the location of origin of specimens or the current location of accessions through a Google Maps plugin. Web API access is possible, but not yet documented.植物馆藏（Botanical Collections）是由梅泽植物园（Meise Botanic Garden）开发并运维的数据门户，面向用户提供该园数字化标本馆标本与活体栽培种质登录信息的查询服务。如其名称所示，该门户的覆盖范围不限于本园馆藏，还涵盖比利时境内及海外其他相关合作机构的植物馆藏资源。截至2022年，平台已收录比利时境内多家机构的植物馆藏，且依托弗拉芒DiSSCo项目（https://dissco-flanders.be），未来将有更多馆藏接入该平台。用户可通过标本类型、分类学信息、采集者及采集地等多维度数据字段检索目标标本，还可查看标本的高清图像，并通过谷歌地图（Google Maps）插件查询标本的原产地或活体种质的当前存放地。该门户支持Web API调用，但相关接口文档尚未完善。
