Summary
The Netherlands Biodiversity API
The Netherlands Biodiversity API (NBA) facilitates access to the
Natural History Collection at Naturalis Biodiversity Center. Next to
museum specimen records and metadata, access to taxonomic
classification and nomenclature, to geographical information, and to
multimedia files is provided. By using the powerful Elasticsearch
engine, the NBA facilitates searching for collection- and biodiversity
data in near real-time. Furthermore, by incorporating information from
taxonomic databases, taxonomic name resolution can be accomplished
with the NBA. Persistent Uniform Resource Identifiers (PURLs) ensure
that each specimen accessible via the NBA is represented by a citeable
unambiguous web reference.
R access
The R programming language is established as a common tool in
scientific research, with growing adoption in
biodiversity research. To ease the threshold using our data via the NBA for
researchers, we developed this R client.
