This is an example of 6 material entities that are aggregated as three GGBN records (green [1], red [2] and blue [3]) through their relationships. Together they represent one occurrence. Each material entity is assigned to a stable GGBN identifier
Occurrence
| Definition | An existence of a dwc:Organism at a particular place at a particular time. (Source https://dwc.tdwg.org/terms/#occurrence) |
|---|---|
| Comments | This term describes the top level of aggregated information. One ore more records can form an occurrence. Occurrences can be related to each other, e.g. collected tissue from the same organism at a different time or as parasite/host relationship. Related records that form together one occurrence are marked as such in GGBN. |
| Examples |
|
Record
| Definition | A chain of material entities that are directly related to each other. |
|---|---|
| Comments | This terms describes the aggregated derived from information chain for directly related material entities. Records can be related to each other as one occurrence record. Records are the basis for search, display and counts/statistics within the GGBN Data Portal. The number of material entities for the same record can increase over time. |
| Examples |
|
Material entity
| Definition | An entity that can be identified, exists for some period of time, and consists in whole or in part of physical matter while it exists. (Source https://dwc.tdwg.org/terms/#materialentity) |
|---|---|
| Comments | This term describes any kind of a physical DNA, tissue or environmental sample, preserved specimen, fossil, or exemplar from living collections. Material entities can be related to each other as one record. Each material entity has a GGBN stable identifier assigned to it and a dedicated landing page. |
| Examples |
|
Taxon
| Definition | A group of organisms (sensu http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/OBI_0100026) considered by taxonomists to form a homogeneous unit. (Source: https://dwc.tdwg.org/terms/#taxon) |
|---|---|
| Comments | In GGBN it is used to count the lowest available identifications. Counts for each taxonomic level can be retrieved through the GGBN API: https://www.ggbn.org/ggbn_portal/api/ |
| Examples |
|
Data provider
| Definition | A GGBN member institution with core status, providing its biobank collection data to the GGBN data portal. |
|---|---|
| Comments | Some members share multiple datasets through GGBN which are merged together to one resource (data provider). |
| Examples |
|
Document
| Definition | An entry in the GGBN Document Library (https://library.ggbn.org). |
|---|---|
| Comments | The majority of documents is available as open access and can be accessed without login. The restricted access document require to login. |
| Examples |
|
