Assessing the FAIR Digital Object Framework for Global Biodiversity Research

In the first decades of 21 st century, there has been a global trend towards digitisation and mobilisation data from natural history museums research institutions. The development national international aggregator systems, which focused on standards, made it possible to access millions museum specimen records. These records serve as an empirical foundation for across various fields. addition, community efforts have expanded concept collection specimens include physical preparations digital resources, resulting in Digital Extended Specimen (DES), also includes derived related data. Within this context, paper proposes using FAIR Object (FDO) framework accelerate vision DES, arguing that FDO-enabled infrastructures can reduce barriers discovery specimens, help ensure credit back contributors increase amount incorporates biodiversity
