DiSSCo Demo 24-04-2024

As the DiSSCo Transition Project (DTP) is in full swing, the DiSSCo Development team will be giving regularly updates on the progress. This progress will mainly focus on Task 3.1 – Further develop the piloted Digital Specimen Architecture (DSarch) into a minimum valuable product. However, as the development team is also involved on other tasks within DTP, as well as other projects such as BiCIKL and TETTRIs, we will also include updates on our work there.

The second demo session comes after an introductory first demo (available on dissco.tech). It focuses on the Minimum Viable Product of the Digital Specimen Data Infrastructure that needs to be delivered at the end of the DiSSCo Transition project (see http://www.dissco.eu for more information), going through topics such as the work that has been done for DiSSCo in the BiCIKL project, the first DiSSCo minted DOI’s, infrastructural upgrades, or perspectives for the future.

The following topics were presented in the demo:
— DOI DataCite infrastructure
— Early landing pages for Source Systems, Mappings and Machine Annotation Services
— First role based authorisation
— Integration of taxonomic resolution service
— Scheduling and automatic triggering of translator services
— Creation of the translator job record
— Reworked taxonomic filters
— Configurable Machine Annotation Service timeout
— Infrastructure upgrades
— TDWG abstracts imminent
— Final BiCIKL reporting
— Early TETTRIs marketplace prototype

Looking forward to our next demo, which will be held on the 19th of June, we hope to show the following topics:
— Batch annotation for Machine Annotation Service version 1
— Update MIDS calculation to the latest version
— Linking service with BOLD
— Simplified annotation cases in DiSSCover
— Documentation for supplying data and metadata
— Tombstoning specimen records
— Further implementation of the TETTRIs prototype
— Setup a plan for the MVP (Milestone 3..1)
— Vocabulary Server
— Improve logging/registration and integration with ORCID
— Virtual Collections
— End user testing
