Abstract
The Natural History Museum, London, is building a portal to allow free and open access to its data, including millions of digitised specimens. This talk will explore how the portal is being built & the data pipelines and standards it uses. We will demonstrate the visual and machine-readable interfaces to the data, which will enable the museum to start sharing its data heritage with individuals and institutions worldwide.
