BoBO aims at providing biodiversity observation data to GBIF via BioCASE for re-use in scientific research and virtual research environments such as the EDIT platform for cybertaxonomy. The database Specimen Tool was developed within the context of the DNA Bank Network at BGBM. This dataset contains observations accompanied by geo references and multimedia files as proof or references to multimedia files, identified by natural persons. The dataset is fully referenced and all contributors are acknowledged. Multimedia files are licensed under Creative Commons unless otherwise indicated.
