Hello Frau Eder,
Thank you for your advice – I will also take them into consideration. It was me that added the Taxonomic classification for palaeontology. With regards to the dashboard vertebrates and invertebrates have been split because maybe a researcher wants to see which institute has collections of fossil invertebrates.
Best wishes

Subject: Re: [CETAF_ESG] Advice needed on earth science collection descriptions
Dear Laura,
Steffen and Andreas made already important comments.
Regarding Storage classifications:
- I have to contradict Andreas, there are fossil samples stored in fluid (independent from slides), e.g. pollen samples, cuticle samples. So we need this category for palaeontology as well.
- We need microfossils as own category independently from slides. Microfossils may be stored in tubes.
For Taxonomic Type, I fully agree with Andreas. I gues it was him who has added now the categories for palaeontology. Thanks Andreas! I only do not understand why Vertebrates and invertebrates are split.
Best wishes
Johanna

Dear colleagues,
I am writing to kindly ask for your advice on defining the standardised terminology “classification schemes” developed in SYNTHESYS+ for geological, palaeontological collections/objects, and also Extraterrestrial if possible. I realise the current terminology for taxonomic type and storage need urgent revision because they are not really useful. I have made revisions and ask if you agree with my suggestions or to give further input. I am aware that most of you are curators – so with regards to storage: Are my suggestions meaningful? Have I covered the main categories in which geological, palaeontological and Extraterrestrial objects are contained? Please note that it is important not to go into much detailed, the categories should be useful for high-level reporting.
Google sheets with my new suggestions (highlighted in green) of categorisation: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19hBCnsLkMILmfaFMy_YwcSiUlOVB99z7CDFnkwrrxe8/edit#gid=0
In red are the original terms for comparison.
I would please like your feedback before the 20th December
General Terminology to be aware of: Taxonomic type: This refers to collection type e.g. for Palaeontology: invertebrates, vertebrates, botany & mycology. For Geology: minerology, petrology etc.
Storage classification: refers to what form collection objects are stored. This classification aims to be useful for information on building planning, help decision for investment of storage facilities etc.
Background
These classification schemes are being developed in SYNTHESYS+ they will be at the core of describing collections within DiSSCo, and will allow the discoverability, accessibility, mobilisation of collection data held in institutes. More specifically I am coordinating the task involved in developing a collection digitisation dashboard in which the classification schemes are being developed. The dashboard will provide high level information on collections related to Collection Taxonomic types, Storage, geographic region etc. the goal is to facilitate the discoverability of collections as well as decision making on institutional, governmental and research levels – what facilities are needed, building planning, prioritisation of digitisation, research collaboration etc.
It is important since we are the community that will be using these terms, and the goal is to promote the use of these terms beyond DiSSCo.
I hope my request make sense if not please feel free to contact me.
Thank you in advance for your help
Best wishes
Laura
