We envisage the system would be flexible enough to accommodate differing levels of detail, from simple lists to detailed representations of the collection that exist for some collections. By supporting multiple descriptors for a collection, the system would support varied levels of documenting detailed aspects of a collection, and indexing the contents will their discoverability. For example, we aim to index scientific names using the [GBIF Backbone Taxonomy](https://doi.org/10.15468/39omei) in order to facilitate collection discovery by taxa.

It should be noted that this approach would mean that one may not be able to aggregate counts across descriptors, as objects may be included in multiple places and thus double-counted. However, the primary focus is to support the needs of taxonomists looking to discover collections of interest or identify locations where individual specimens may reside.

## 4. A new user interface for GRSciColl

The public interface of GRSciColl is limited in capabilities, offering less than both the management interface and what is possible using the GBIF Hosted Portal software like the DiSSCo UK site. We intend to replace the existing GRSciColl site with a hosted portal deployment enhanced with new features, such as maps for institutions and clear explanatory text for users and data managers. Work on this has begun and can be seen this webiste current.
