[Taxacom] Any suggestions of open source monitoring software/web sites that stores and makes available location images?

[Peter Rauch]

Mary,

"...record standardized images of a location...."

"...tracking changes over time at that location".

"...the way collections networks bring specimen data together."

Without more details on what sorts of "changes" are to be detectable by
these "standardized" images, it's a bit of a challenge to know whether any
existing systems would suffice.

How about https://www.usanpn.org/natures_notebook
and https://www.usanpn.org/nn/become-observer
and https://www.usanpn.org/

There are lots of good ideas (about "standardization" and "location" and
"change" [of a sort --phenological] and a way to "bring data together"
nationally), though the diving in deep to systematize and record
phenological information specifically may be beyond your need.

I think the first question that needs more elaboration is what you want
from "standardized images" and "what changes"?

Peter
