The Bavarian Natural History Collections (Staatliche Naturwissenschaftliche Sammlungen Bayerns, SNSB) are a research institution for natural history in Bavaria. They encompass five State Collections (zoology, botany, paleontology and geology, mineralogy, anthropology and paleoanatomy), the Botanical Garden Munich-Nymphenburg and eight museums with public exhibitions in Munich, Bamberg, Bayreuth, Eichstätt and Nördlingen. Our research focuses mainly on the past and present bio- and geodiversity and the evolution of animals and plants. To achieve this we have large scientific collections (almost 35,000,000 specimens), see "joint projects".

The portal "Wissenschaftliche Sammlungen" is a project of the Coordination Office for Academic University Collections in Germany in cooperation with the Academic University and University Collections. Together we create a platform that makes information on scientific collections, activities and actors as well as metadata and digitised objects visible, searchable and scientifically usable via a web portal. The data will be freely and openly accessible via technical interfaces in standard formats and fed into national reference systems such as the German Digital Library.
The UC San Diego Library Digital Collections website gathers two categories of content managed by the Library: library collections (including digitized versions of selected collections covering topics such as art, film, music, history and anthropology) and research data collections (including research data generated by UC San Diego researchers).

The University of Göttingen preserves one of the most important collections of scientific collections. At more than 30 distributed locations on the Göttingen Campus, the collections reflect its disciplinary diversity: the spectrum ranges from archeology to zoology, from astrophysical instruments to the living cell cultures of the algae collection. Historical legacy dating back to the Age of Enlightenment: The founding holdings of the Royal Academic Museum of Georgia Augusta are largely preserved. Research and teaching to date access to the collection objects and increase the stocks. Get to know our collections in this portal, which have been used to create knowledge for three centuries.

LIAS is a global information system for Lichenized and Non-Lichenized Ascomycetes. It includes several interoperable data repositories. In recent years, the two core components ‘LIAS names’ and ‘LIAS light’ have been much enlarged. LIAS light is storing phenotypic trait data. They includes > 10,700 descriptions (about 2/3 of all known lichen species), each with up to 75 descriptors comprising 2,000 traits (descriptor states and values), including 800 secondary metabolites. 500 traits may have biological functions and more than 1,000 may have phylogenetic relevance. LIAS is thus one of the most comprehensive trait databases in organismal biology. The online interactive identification key for more than 10,700 lichens is powered by the Java applet NaviKey and has been translated into 19 languages (besides English) in cooperation with lichenologists worldwide. The component ‘LIAS names’ is a platform for managing taxonomic names and classifications with currently >50,000 names, including the c. 12,000 accepted species and recognized synonyms. The LIAS portal contents, interfaces, and databases run on servers of the IT Center of the Bavarian Natural History Collections and are maintained there. 'LIAS names' and ‘LIAS light’ also deliver content data to the Catalogue of Life, acting as the Global Species Database (GSD) for lichens. LIAS gtm is a database for visualising the geographic distribution of lichen traits. LIAS is powered by the Diversity Workbench database framework with several interfaces for data management and publication. The LIAS long-term project was initiated in the early 1990s and has since been continued with funding from the DFG, the BMBF, and the EU.
VertNet is a NSF-funded collaborative project that makes biodiversity data free and available on the web. VertNet is a tool designed to help people discover, capture, and publish biodiversity data. It is also the core of a collaboration between hundreds of biocollections that contribute biodiversity data and work together to improve it. VertNet is an engine for training current and future professionals to use and build upon best practices in data quality, curation, research, and data publishing. Yet, VertNet is still the aggregate of all of the information that it mobilizes. To us, VertNet is all of these things and more.

FinBIF is an integral part of the global biodiversity informatics framework, dedicated to managing species information. Its mission encompasses a wide array of services, including the generation of digital data through various processes, as well as the sourcing, collation, integration, and distribution of existing digital data. Key initiatives under FinBIF include the digitization of collections, the development of data systems for collections Kotka (https://biss.pensoft.net/article/37179/) and observations (https://biss.pensoft.net/article/39150/), and the establishment of a national DNA barcode reference library. FinBIF manages data types such as verbal species descriptions (which include drawings, pictures, and other media types), biological taxonomy, scientific collection specimens, opportunistic systematic and event-based observations, and DNA barcodes. It employs a unified IT architecture to manage data flows, delivers services through a single online portal, fosters collaboration under a cohesive umbrella concept, and articulates development visions under a unified brand. The portal Laji.fi serves as the entry point to this harmonized open data ecosystem. FinBIF's portal is accessible in Finnish, Swedish, and English. Data intended for restricted use are made available to authorities through a separate portal, while open data are also shared with international systems, such as GBIF.

"IndExs" is a database comprising information on exsiccatae (=exsiccatal series) with titles, abbreviations, bibliography and provides a unique and persistent Exsiccata ID for each series. Exsiccatae are defined as "published, uniform, numbered sets of preserved specimens distributed with printed labels" (Pfister 1985). Please note that there are two similar latin terms: "exsiccata, ae" is feminine and used for a set of dried specimens as defined above, whereas the term "exsiccatum, i" is neutral and used for dried specimens in general. If available, images of one or more examplary labels are added to give layout information.

DEEMY is collecting descriptive data on ectomycorrhizae, including extant character descriptions and definitions. Ectomycorrhizae are mutualistic structures formed by fungi and the roots of forest trees. They are predominantly found in the temperate and boreal climate zones but occur also in humid tropic regions, as well as in soils of poor nutrition. Without mycorrhizae, trees would not be able to take up water and minerals. Ectomycorrhizae show a wide range of anatomical diversity which represents their possible function in tree nutrition and ecology. Their anatomical data, in general, allow a quick determination and provide at the same time ecologically important information about possible functions for tree nutrition.

Our knowledge of the many life-forms on Earth - of animals, plants, fungi, protists and bacteria - is scattered around the world in books, journals, databases, websites, specimen collections, and in the minds of people everywhere. Imagine what it would mean if this information could be gathered together and made available to everyone – anywhere – at a moment’s notice. This dream is becoming a reality through the Encyclopedia of Life.
