Repository for the Specify Systems Syftorium API endpoint
Welcome to the Syftorium!
The Syftorium is a collection of specimen-based analytics assessing the composition of collection holdings and available species information. These data are used to compare and assess collections against and among the collective holdings of all of the world's data that we can get our hands on. This information is then made available back to the institutions and others so that it can assist those collections in prioritizing collecting and digitization efforts, institutional loans, mergers, deaccessions, et cetera in order to improve, or show off, the overall quality of the collection. This information can also be used by the community as a whole to identify gaps in species knowlege and redundancies for similar motivations. The Syftorium presents this information in multivariate-, but subsettable, space in order to create the most compelling picture of the data as possible in order to provide as much value and feedback to the community as we can.
Syftorium web services are documented using the Open API 3 spec. The raw documentation can be found at /docs/openapi.yml and a version rendered with Swagger can be found at https://lifemapper.github.io/lmsyft/.
