Our goal is to label events and objects with unique identifiers so that we can easily share information about them across databases. This page is a forum to share ideas and information on how best to do this.

Although our immediate focus is how to use barcode technology to label and track museum specimens, such as pinned insects, we hope to find general inter-disciplinary solutions that will permit us to integrate a wide array of data, including information on observations, sound recordings, images, molecular sequences, chemical profiles, and climatic variables.
