determination histories: informal survey of specimen management systems
For a paper on taxonomic data annotation, I'm trying to get a rough idea of what is the extent of systems in use that can't keep a determination history of the specimens it manages. If this is your circumstance, I would appreciate hearing from you the name of the software and, if you know it, the back end database if there is one. Please answer directly so as not to bother the list.
If you've already answered James Macklin asking this question on another list, or if your specimen system does manage a history, please don't bother to reply.

1. DiversityWorkbench: DiversityCollections has identification history (used in a number of mainly German museums) 2. JKI collection systems (fungi, bacteria, germplasm) have identification history
Hi,
Plutof cloud (plutof.ut.ee) allow indefinite number of identifications for all types of taxon occurrences (specimens, observations, DNA sequences). Global database for the fungal rDNA ITS sequences UNITE hosted by PlutoF. For example you may see different names (identifications) for the single specimens if you go to http://unite.ut.ee/taxon.php?id=158447 and click on some UDB id-s which are in bold. On Plutof workbench you will see much more but then you need to login. PlutoF cloud hosts most of the Estonian museum specimen databases as well as observations.
Best, Urmas
