FAIR DIGITAL OBJECT (historical context) Digital Object: A digital object is a data structure whose principal components are digital material, or data, plus a unique identifier for this material, called a handle Kahn and Wilensky, 1995 (http://www.cnri.reston.va.us/k-w.html). FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) - Wilkinson et al. 2016. Digital Objects have the built-in capability to implement FAIR data George Strawn, 2019. FAIR Digital Object ..is a stable actionable unit that bundles sufficient information to allow the reliable interpretation and processing of the data contained in it - De Smedt, K., Koureas, D. and Wittenburg, P., 2020.

DIGITAL SPECIMENS Digital Specimen is a particular type of FAIR Digital Object. Digital Specimens are more than just digital representations. They act as digital containers and processable digital twins on the Internet for physical specimens in collections.
LESSONS LEARNT We need to focus on demos and targeted proof of concept works along with the design. Reaching out to the user community to identify edge cases (workshops, hackathons). Collaborate and learn from other domains/research infrastructures.
