Metadata: 1826 - 2010 The Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom (MBA) Catalogue of the Herbarium of British algae and lichens
Abstract:
This catalogue contains records for all the specimens contained in the MBA Herbarium, which includes: - Rhodophyceae: more than 2500 records/specimens - Phaeophyceae: more than 1000 records/specimens - Chlorophyceae: more than 300 records/specimens - Lichens: more than 700 records and 90 specimens. The records include taxonomic information (genera and species) as well as information on the collector and identifier of each specimen, and the date and location of the collection. The vast majority of records from the British Isles, however some are from France and Spain. The database also includes information on the availability of specimens in other herbaria.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 600 |
| Title | The title is used to provide a brief and precise description of the dataset such as 'Date', 'Originating organisation/programme', 'Location' and 'Type of survey'. All acronyms and abbreviations should be reproduced in full. | 1826 - 2010 The Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom (MBA) Catalogue of the Herbarium of British algae and lichens |
| File Identifier | The File Identifier is a code, preferably a GUID, that is globally unique and remains with the same metadata record even if the record is edited or transferred between portals or tools. | 24b7fc9004f1985e64d3cd1c181a72ac |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | DASSHDT00000041 |
| Resource type | The resource type will likely be a dataset but could also be a series (collection of datasets with a common specification) or a service. | dataset |
| Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 1826-01-01 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2010-04-04 |
| Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | inapplicable |
| Frequency of updates | This describes the frequency with which the resource is modified or updated i.e. a monitoring programme that samples once per year has a frequency that is described as 'annually'. | notPlanned |
| Abstract | The abstract provides a clear and brief statement of the content of the resource. | This catalogue contains records for all the specimens contained in the MBA Herbarium, which includes: - Rhodophyceae: more than 2500 records/specimens - Phaeophyceae: more than 1000 records/specimens - Chlorophyceae: more than 300 records/specimens - Lichens: more than 700 records and 90 specimens.

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | This data has been collected continuously since 1826 with various degrees of precision. On average, records of nineteenth-century specimens are less precise (both in terms of people and locations) than specimens collected since 1950. When people are recorded, we are able to cross-reference with other records to verify potentially questionable information. The biggest discrepancy in precision regarding where specimens were collected: these can vary from a precise (e.g. R113/2/25: "Between Asia Shoal and Drake's Island") or not (many specimens were collected in the "Devon area"). A number of specimens were also photographed during the digitization of the catalogue. |
