	If your institution is using CETAF IDs and ~~yout~~ want them (and potential Specimen RDF) to be included into the CETAF Specimen Catalogue, they need to be used as {{abbr\|GUIDs}} in the specimen data fed to GBIF.

If your institution is using CETAF IDs and digital specimen DOIs, and you want them (and potential Specimen RDF) to be included into the CETAF Specimen Catalogue and global indexes, they need to be used as authoritative{{abbr\|GUIDs}} in the specimen data fed to GBIF. As described in [[CETAF Specimen Catalogue]], the GBIF Index is used to discover CETAF IDs.
	* If ~~DarwinCore~~ is used, the ~~IDs must be mapped~~ to [http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/occurrenceID occurrence ID].
	* For {{abbr\|ABCD}}~~, the~~ concept [https://terms.tdwg.org/wiki/abcd2:UnitGUID UnitGUID] should be used.		* If Darwin Core (DwC) is used:
			** Map the CETAF URI to [http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/occurrenceID occurrence ID].
			** Map the digital specimen DOI to [http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/digitalSpecimenID digital specimen ID]
			As a TDWG-ratified term under the `MaterialEntity` class, `digitalSpecimenID` is explicitly reserved to hold the persistent, FAIR Digital Object identifier (a DataCite DOI) that references the internet-based digital surrogate of the physical specimen.

			For {{abbr\|ABCD}}:
			* The concept [https://terms.tdwg.org/wiki/abcd2:UnitGUID UnitGUID] should be used for the primary identifier (CETAF URI).
			* Use UnitGUID variations or specialized metadata elements to explicitly supply the Digital Specimen DOI.

	The [[CETAF Specimen Preview Profile (CSPP)]] is developed as a minimal set of agreed ({{abbr\|RDF}}) collection metadata elements implemented consistently across {{abbr\|CETAF}} organisations. ~~Its purpose~~ is to ~~provide a stable resource enabling preview functions in~~ specimen ~~portals~~.

The [[CETAF Specimen Preview Profile (CSPP)]] is developed as a minimal set of agreed ({{abbr\|RDF}}) collection metadata elements implemented consistently across {{abbr\|CETAF}} organisations.

			Under modern iterations of the profile, it is highly recommended to include standard properties to express alternate persistent identifiers. Specifically:
			* <b>prov:hadDerivation</b> or <b>dcterms:identifier</b> should be utilized within the RDF metadata record to explicitly declare the digital specimen DOI associated with that specific URI, allowing semantic web harvesters to bridge the gap between the LOD web and DOI registries.

They can also be used to precisely reference specimens needed in scientific studies and serve as basis for data retrieval, integration and reproducibility of data experiments.

			When paired with Digital Specimen DOIs, they provide dual-layered tracking. The CETAF URI drives semantic web integrations and localized lookups, while the DOI ensures that when a specimen is cited in an academic journal, data citations are automatically tracked, aggregated, and credited back to the home institution via cross-repository indexing (e.g., DataCite, Crossref).

	Additionally, the stable identifiers enable new applications in the semantic web domain. An example for this is the Biology Pilot. The [https://www.bgbm.org/ Botanic Garden and Botanical Museum Berlin], [https://www.plantentuinmeise.be/en/home/ Meise Botanic Garden] and other collections annotated thousands of specimens with the [https://kiki.huh.harvard.edu/databases/botanist_index.html HUH] and [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Main_Page WikiData] IDs of their collectors. The CETAF Stable Identifiers of the annotated specimens are available on [https://www.gbif.org/ GBIF] and a server is crawling the identifiers to organize the RDF information in a Blaze Graph triple store. This graph enables us to search for specimen by their collector {{abbr\|ID}} of {{abbr\|HUH}} or WikiData, which is invariant to the different spelling variants the individual institutions may be using. The query will return all relevant specimens available in the joined set of specimens regardless of their origin institution. If the number of institutions using stable identifiers grows and the amount of machine readable annotations increases, this technology could be used to basically create a “google for specimens”.

			=== Integrating Identifiers into Collection Management Systems ===

			<b>CRITICAL IMPLEMENTATION STEP</b>: To ensure the integrity of both CETAF URIs and digital specimen DOIs, <b>all identifiers must be stored directly within the primary Collection Management System (CMS) source systems</b> (e.g., Specify, Axiell EMu, Brahms, Jacq, etc.).

			* <b>Source System as Single Source of Truth</b>: Identifiers should never be generated ad-hoc during web publishing or aggregator exports. They must be generated or captured at the point of digitization or ingestion and written permanently into the local CMS database.
			* <b>Database Fields</b>: Ensure your CMS schema contains dedicated, indexed fields for the CETAF URI and the Digital Specimen DOI. This guarantees absolute consistency across internal curation workflows, localized public portals, and external data pipelines. For the DOI there is a dedicated DarwinCore field dwc:digitalSpecimenID
