Repository for a GBIF API MIDS Calculator (GAMC) web app.
To use the tool, check out https://naturalhistorymuseum.github.io/gamc/.
Minimum Information about a Digital Specimen (MIDS) is a data standard which aims to describe four different levels of digitization status for biological and geological specimens from natural history collections, each level requiring certain information elements to be digitally available. With this standard, users of collection data, as well as funders and collection curators will have a better overview of how comprehensively digitized a collection or any other set of specimens really is. The standard is currently still under development by a Task Group of the global Biodiversity Information Standards (“TDWG”) organization. All MIDS levels are fairly stable, but they are still under discussion and have yet to be ratified by TDWG into the first version of the MIDS standard. For more details, see https://github.com/tdwg/mids.
Probably best to just check out the about page on the app.
