Introduction

Microbial strains are important materials for scientific research and production. However, different microbial resource institutions use different data formats.

This method of internal data management and distribution severely hinders efficient global data exchange and affects users' access to preserved resources and related information.

Their visits have hindered the further utilization of microbial resources by the academic community and the bio-industry.

This document represents the domestic implementation of ISO 21710:2020, providing a set of data fields for data publishing, aiming to facilitate application...

Improving data exchange between online directories of microbial resource institutions through unique identifiers and standardized data formats, and facilitating the promotion of microbial-based...

Subsequent access to materials and related data, and benefit sharing. This document also specifies data management and internal data quality control requirements to improve...

The overall accuracy and reliability of data and information recorded in high microbial resource institutions are the foundation for efficient data sharing and exchange.

Microbial Resource Institution Data Management and Publication Standards

1 Scope

This document specifies the requirements for data management and publication by microbial resource institutions to achieve a consistent data format and outlines quality control standards.

The workflow aims to improve overall data quality and promote the sharing and integration of microbial materials and related data among microbial resource organizations.

This document aims to facilitate procedures for access, acquisition, authentication, preservation, storage, and distribution, for use by microbial resource organizations, regulatory bodies, and others.

It can be used by peers to evaluate the data management and dissemination capabilities of microbial resource organizations.
