metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences in St Petersburg
  is one of the oldest biological research institutions in Russia, housing the largest
  zoological collections in the country, both in terms of their size (number
  of specimens) and global diversity. It is also one of the largest zoological depositories
  in the world, with over 60 million specimens in its stores. In total, the
  Zoological Institute holds about 260,000 animal species, about a quarter of the
  world’s known diversity. The type collection includes several tens of hundreds
  of primary types, which are very important as the essential foundation for zoological
  nomenclature. The digitisation of scientific collections now plays an important
  role in ensuring the standardised accumulation and use of various data
  sets, as well as quick access to stored information. The digitised scientific collections
  of the Zoological Institute are published online for the public access. To
  date they have accumulated 146,695 taxa records and over 13,000 high quality
  images of invertebrate and vertebrate specimens and their original data labels.
  The Zoological Institute is not only a depository of animal specimens important
  for biodiversity inventories and studies, but also a unique bank of genetic resources
  of extant/extinct animals which can be studied using modern genetic
  technologies.
