What do we have ?
Physical objects
- living specimens (look trough the window !)
- dried tissues collections (bring Tubes)
- extracts (Tubes)
- fridges
Digital objects
- Species list. We had a quick talk with https://botalista.community/ people.
- iNat. The DBGI iNat project https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/digital-botanical-gardens-initiative
We cant use the iNat API (because we have non-research grade observation - cultivated specimens)
See examples of DBGI iNat entries curated by others :
- https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/139418418
- https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/139418397
- https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/139418389
Think of a way to capture these community curated entries and forward then to the implicated botanical gardens.
- Directus (http://directus.dbgi.org/) Have a quick tour.
- MassIVE (several set uploaded e.g. https://massive.ucsd.edu/ProteoSAFe/dataset.jsp?task=bd2a519b678e4f92aeca6434166ea548, https://massive.ucsd.edu/ProteoSAFe/dataset.jsp?task=589f0793f15d4b87aebd699900ad468e)
For long term consider other MasSpec repositories. (Metabolights https://www.ebi.ac.uk/metabolights/) Others ?
- Physical samples tracking: none at the moment.
What do we want ?
Physical objects
- living specimens (look trough the window) - Could this improve ? How ?
- dried tissues collections (Falcon Tubes) - Could this improve ? How ?
- extracts (Tubes) - Could this improve ? How ?
- fridges () - Could this improve ? How ?
Digital objects
- Species list
- iNat
- Directus
- MassIVE. Are they new developments /recommendations on this side ? GNPS2 ?
- Physical samples tracking
Frictionless Software toolkit (https://frictionlessdata.io/) Bioregistry (https://bioregistry.io/) (Also in WP3)
If we take the directus example, it is hosted on a computer of the COMMONS Lab at UniFr and can only be accessed through the UniFr VPN. Should we buy / rent another machine to ease external access ? If so where ? Which specifications ?
OpenBIS
A workshop is to be planned in the next month. In the first 15 days of March. Doodle to be send by Henry and Caterina Physical / remote Half a day to get started. Objectives :
- get familiar with openBIS (https://openbis.ch/)
- Fill in the empty openBIS templates
OpenBIS instance could be hosted on switchengines (https://www.switch.ch/engines/) For around 1000$/year Docker image existing.
Possibilities of lightweight implementation ? Is this really necessary ?!
