ABCD and DarwinCore both contain hundreds of elements. Some are mandatory. The curator of the DNA Bank has to define the Metadata of the DNA Bank collection first. After that the real mapping can begin. You can use [http://www.biocase.org BioCASe] or [http://www.gbif.org/ipt IPT] to provide data to GGBN, but have to make sure you use the extensions for the [http://terms.tdwg.org/wiki/GGBN_Data_Standard GGBN Data Standard]. DarwinCore and ABCD have a lot of terms in common, but use different names for the terms. Therefore the following section are splitted into ABCD and DwC. GGBN supports both standards, both have pros and cons and work well for GGBN. It depends on your data and if your institution is already providing data to GBIF which one fits better. Please contact us if you need help.

You can provide your data to GGBN in different ways. It depends on your other collections and the way you provide your data already to GBIF which one fits best for you. GGBN can handle all of the examples below, but it might make a difference for your occurrences at GBIF. Most important is, that you provide the references between the records in a standardized way. DNA collections comprise many difference use cases. Not in all cases you will have a physicial tissue or a physicial specimen. Please contact us if you need help.

==Mapping with Specimens==

A specimen in terms of GGBN and GBIF is a preserved specimen from wild origin or a living specimen (cultivated plant, captivated animal, cell culture). In case your collection or certain DNA samples have no corresponding tissue sample, you should refer to the "mother" specimen directly.

<div id="wikinote">Specimens are often deposited in external collections. If you provide the proper identifiers the GGBN Data Portal can aggregate this information! We know that it is impossible to track this information back for all legacy data. But if you keep this in mind in your daily workflows for all new records and samples the quality and value of your data and collection will increase enormously.</div>

This page provides an overview of the most commonly used ABCD elements with short explanations and sample values. If you're looking for a complete list of ABCD elements, please refer to the full documentation at the ABCD Wiki.

Metadata

Metadata are very important. They will be displayed with every single DNA record in the portal. Be careful with the IPR statements!

Description/Representation *Details Short text to describe the focus and number of samples in your DNA collection. It should include the following phrase: The DNA bank is part of the Global Genome Biodiversity Network (GGBN) which was founded in 2011. The network provides a technically optimized DNA collection service facility for all biological research accessible via one central web portal. The network promotes deposition of well documented reference DNA samples after project completion or data publication from scientists of other universities and institutions. The DNA bank of the Botanic Garden and Botanical Museum Berlin-Dahlem holds currently a collection of 20000 plant DNA and tissue samples growing constantly. Its core collection focuses on the flora of Germany but it comprises botanical samples collected worldwide.

Sample data

The sample identifiers

We use identifier the same way as GBIF does. In addition to the traditional triple ID (see below) you can also provide the GUID. Please note that UnitID should be unique in one database! Mostly the extraction number is used for it.

Group Element Remarks Example
Unit *SourceID short description of relevant collection should be "DNA Bank" or "tissue collection"
Unit *SourceInstitutionID short name/abbreviation of relevant institution BGBM
Unit *UnitID DNA extraction number or tissue number DNA 123
Unit UnitGUID sample record GUID f6c7fd5a-2f04-4dcb-ba38-0230bf196d30

GGBN terms

The following fields are highly recommended, some are mandatory (marked with *), but feel free to map more!

Please have a look at the GGBN Data Standard documentation where all GGBN terms are described in detail. The table below is just listing the most important ones. Since the Nagoya Protocol has come into force we higly recommend to map the Permit fields. They will become mandatory for providing data to GGBN at the end of 2020. Until then all core members must have implemented the required fields in their databases.
Group Element Remarks Example
*RecordBasis The specific nature of the data record, controlled vocabulary! "PreservedSpecimen", "MaterialSample", "FossilSpecimen", "LivingSpecimen", "HumanObservation", "MachineObservation"; for Tissue or DNA samples use "MaterialSample"
*materialSampleType Classification of kind of physical sample in addition to BasisOfRecord/RecordBasis and Preparation Type "tissue", "DNA", "specimen"
SpecimenUnit/Preparation *preparationType description of type of material, free text or DNA: gDNA, eDNA, aDNA; for tissues/specimens: leaf, muscle, leg, blood
SpecimenUnit/Preparation *preparationDate date of DNA extraction if unknown type "unknown"
SpecimenUnit/Preparation *preparatioMaterials extraction kit or protocoll if unknown type "unknown"
SpecimenUnit/Preparation *preparedBy extraction staff if unknown type "unknown"
SpecimenUnit/Preservation preservation preservation of the tissue or DNA if unknown type "unknown"
SpecimenUnit/Loan/Permit *permitStatus Information about the presence, absence or other basic status of permits associated with the sample(s), controlled vocabulary! Permit available, Permit not required, Permit not available, Unknown Material collected after 2014-10-12 cannot be in "Unknown" permit status!
SpecimenUnit/Loan/Permit *permitStatusQualifier Description of why a certain permit was not required or why Permit Status is unknown "no national requirement for a permit at date of access", "officially authorized illegal holder", "collected on private land", "pre-Nagoya"
SpecimenUnit/Loan/Permit *permitType A permit is a document that allows someone to take an action that otherwise would not be allowed, controlled vocabulary! Collecting Permit, Import Permit, Export Permit, Intellectual Property Rights, Copyright, Patent, Data use, Phytosanitary, Salvage, Exemption Permit, Material Transfer Agreement, Internationally Recognized Certificate of Compliance, Contract, Memorandum of Understanding, Memorandum of Cooperation, Veterinary Certificate, Human Pathogens, Genetically Modified Organism, Other
SpecimenUnit/Loan/Permit *permitText The text of a permit related to the gathering/shipping or further details
GGBN/Amplification amplificationDate date of amplification; if unknown or general without content you don't have to map it should be ISO format yyyy-mm-dd
GGBN/Amplification marker COX1
GGBN/Amplification geneticAccessionNumber the accession number of NCBI/EMBL/DDBJ or the process ID of BOLD; this is a repeatable element, you can provide as much as you want e.g. AJ45567
GGBN/Amplification genBankNumber-URI complete link to the accession number of NCBI/EMBL/DDBJ or the process ID of BOLD
SpecimenUnit blockedUntil in case the sample is blocked until a specific date it's nevertheless searchable but customers cannot order it ISO format
SpecimenUnit blocked sample is blocked (e.g. because it is consumed), but data are still available Yes/No
GGBN concentration concentration of the DNA 65,34
GGBN @unit unit of the concentration µg/ml
GGBN ratioOfAbsorbance260_230 map only if filled with content 1,2
GGBN ratioOfAbsorbance260_280 map only if filled with content 1,8

Related Specimen Data

All specimen voucher information must be available via a GBIF compliant database! Both Darwin Core-Archive and BioCASE specimen providers are possibe! To provide the underlying specimen data you can use your existing GBIF dataset mapping.
File:Relationships.jpg
In the database and the mapping the child record should refer to its mother record in opposite to the real world example

The voucher identifiers

Group Element Remarks Example
Associations/UnitAssociation *UnitID the UnitID or CatalogueNumber used for GBIF e.g. the barcode number of your specimens
Associations/UnitAssociation *SourceInstitutionID the SourceInstitutionID or InstitutionCode used for GBIF e.g. the acronym of your institution
Associations/UnitAssociation *SourceName the SourceID or CollectionCode used for GBIF e.g. the name of the collection where the specimen belongs to, e.g. "Birds"
Associations/UnitAssociation *AssociationType the Relation between the DNA and the voucher e.g. "DNA and voucher from same individual"
Associations/UnitAssociation *DatasetAccessPoint the wrapper url of the voucher record e.g. "http://ww3.bgbm.org/biocase/pywrapper.cgi?dsa=Herbar"

Gathering event of the voucher

All elements marked with * will be indexed and must be mapped! Mapping these gathering facts twice (one for the specimen database and one for the DNA mapping) is required because of indexing and later search purposes.

Group Element Remarks Example
*CollectorsFieldNumber the number the collector gave to the specimen in the field, often used in Botany but not in Zoology; map it if you have content e.g. 765/10
Gathering/Agents/GatheringAgent *FullName the Collector or Collector Team e.g. Scholz & Sipman
Gathering/Altitude *LowerValue if you have both the lower and upper value in different columns map both field, if not map LowerValue only e.g. 100
Gathering/Altitude UpperValue e.g. 200
Gathering/Altitude *Unit e.g. m
Gathering/Country *ISO3166Code ISO code of the country where the voucher was collected e.g. US
Gathering/Country *Name english Name of the country e.g. United States of America
Gathering/DateTime *DateText date when voucher was collected, if you have content yuo can also use ISO format e.g. 21. April 1951
Gathering/Locality *LocalityText e.g. 5km NO Berlin
Gathering/NamedArea AreaName name of continent e.g. Europe
Gathering/NamedArea @language language of the name of continent e.g. "en"
Gathering/SiteCoordinates *LatitudeDecimal e.g. -15,88876
Gathering/SiteCoordinates *LongitudeDecimal e.g. 72,88876

Identification history of the voucher

Mostly specimen databases record the complete determination or identification history of a single specimen. For GGBN we try to get all available information into the portal.

Group Element Remarks Example
Identification *PreferredFlag mark the presently preferred Identification e.g. true, false, 0, 1
Identification/HigherTaxon *HigherTaxonName the name of the higher taxon, please have a look at the BioCASE Wiki for how to prepare your database for the repeatable elements e.g. Asteraceae, Animalia
Identification/HigherTaxon *HigherTaxonRank the rank of the taxon in english or latin e.g. familia, regnum, phylum
Identification/ScientificName *FullScientificName the complete name of the taxon including Authors (and years for animals) e.g. Aaronsohnia factorovskyi Warb. & Eig. var. factorovskyi
Identification/ScientificName/NameAtomised *FirstEpithet Please note: ABCD has several container for NameAtomised, it depens on your sampes which one to choose (Botanical or Zoology etc.) e.g. factorovskyi
Identification/ScientificName/NameAtomised *GenusOrMonomial e.g. Aaronsohnia
Identification/ScientificName/NameAtomised *InfraspecificEpithet Please note: ABCD has several container for NameAtomised, it depens on your sampes which one to choose (Botanical or Zoology etc.) e.g. factorovskyi
Identification/ScientificName/NameAtomised *Rank Please note: ABCD has several container for NameAtomised, it depens on your sampes which one to choose (Botanical or Zoology etc.) e.g. var.

Multimedia items of the voucher

These should be mapped in the specimen mapping, not the DNA mapping.
