FAIRsharing record for: DiSSCover

This FAIRsharing record describes: DiSSCover is a platform for curating and annotating digital specimens, which serve as digital surrogates for physical specimens. It provides access to all specimen-related data, including metadata (where, when, by whom), digital media and derived or related data like sequence data, chemical composition and sampled environment. Users, including researchers, taxonomic experts and citizen scientists, can annotate and enrich specimen data to support science, with future integration of approved annotations pending a community review process. The annotations are stored as FAIR Digital Objects (with a persistent identifier).
