IMBALANCE OF INFORMATION
LEVEL
a large number of collections lag behind
in digitization, largely because of the
lack of facilities and human resources.
According to statistics presented by
CCINFO, of 708 registered culture
collections, only 60 of them have
published online catalogues and only 96
of them have their catalogue
computerized.
A desirable information system
For users
Feedback from a survey of 60 European
Culture Collections’ Organisation (ECCO)
culture collection curators and their users
carried out in Spring 2013
For culture collections
Improved and reliable metadata
Improvement in search range and detail
Improved interoperability between
databases
harmonization of Standard Operating
Procedures (SOPs), data
structures and software tools.

2. Details checked
1. Request received by WDCM Bacterial or fungal strains to be considered for inclusion
in the WDCM database must have been deposited in at least two collections with Affiliate status with the WFCC
Nominations for new strains will only be received from ISO, member bodies of or constituent bodies of the IUMS
Any WFCC Affiliate Collection member may nominate strains that are proven lines of strains already existing in the WDCM reference strain database to be included in a database entry. It is the responsibility of the Affiliate Collection member to ensure that the characteristics of the proposed strain from their collection agree with those of the strains already listed.
New strain linkages i.e. culture collection strains that are linked to existing entries in the database require approval by the WDCM RSSG.
Unique WDCM strain numbers will be allocated through by the WDCM and will generally be allocated sequentially as the strains are authorised for inclusion.
