Abstract


Almost all natural history collections curate fossil specimens. Thus, there is a high demand to accommodate the geoscientific marginal information in the biological data schema. Additionally, there are also geological collection objects in the same institutions which have a huge overlap with this type of data.

As the ABCD schema (Access to Biological Collection Data) is an extensible schema, the Extension For Geosciences has been compiled to better accommodate information on paleontological, geological and mineralogical collection objects. This extended schema is used for the data provision to the Geoscientific Collection Access Service (GeoCASe), GBIF and the OpenUp! Project.
