→Imagining a Locality Service

*The purpose of this document is to describe the functional requirements of a locality service that provides a mechanism whereby data associated with previously georeferenced locality descriptions may be leveraged in the process of georeferencing. | *The purpose of this document is to describe the functional requirements of a locality service that provides a mechanism whereby data associated with previously georeferenced locality descriptions may be leveraged in the process of georeferencing. | ||
*Rationale: Current georeferencing workflows available in the natural history collections community today often result in projects georeferencing the same localities over and over again. Development and deployment of a locality service as outlined in this document addresses this time-consuming and expensive issue. Future workflows taking advantage of this service would see several benefits: faster georeferencing as well as improved efficiency and accuracy. In addition, a service of this type facilitates community input (annotation) for georeferences. | *Rationale: Current georeferencing workflows available in the natural history collections community today often result in projects georeferencing the same localities over and over again.
