What is a Data Aggregator?
A data aggregator is a tool that collects data from multiple, heterogeneous sources and integrates them into a coherent, aggregated dataset, which can then be used for processing, publishing, and ensuring compliance with the FAIR principles.
DAGI
DAGI is the Swiss data aggregator for biological and paleontological specimen data. Designed as a collaborative tool for Swiss natural history institutions, it facilitates dataflows between collections by aggregating, standardising, and enriching the specimen data they supply and host.
