This project--led by a multi-institutional team of comparative biologists, library digital archivists, and computer scientists--envisions the development of novel, archive-quality cyber infrastructure for the secure storage of large volumes of 3D data on organismal anatomical structure (morphological phenomes) in a sustainable and scalable manner. The proof-of-concept (called MorphoSource) is an open-access archive and the only one of its kind; it is a GenBank-style repository that supports 3D digital renderings of objects catalogued in scientific collections of museums and universities. | This project--led by a multi-institutional team of comparative biologists, library digital archivists, and computer scientists--envisions the development of novel, archive-quality cyber infrastructure for the secure storage of large volumes of 3D data on organismal anatomical structure (morphological phenomes) in a sustainable and scalable manner.
