Introducing The Numismatic Specimen Registry™
The Numismatic Specimen Registry™ (NSR) is the flagship platform of numispace™and the first of its kind online registry for numismatics that makes collecting easier and collections stronger by verifying specimens and creating a secure chain of title. It employs the industry standard ontology and harnesses the power of linked data to provide a seamless and trusted cataloguing tool for collectors. The numispace™ NSR is built by collectors, verified by professional experts, and it’s free! Start building your NSR collection today and experience the advantage of connected cataloguing.
Connected Cataloguing
Identifying numismatic objects often requires exhaustive searches through multiple disconnected sets of data. numispace™ harnesses the power of linked data to provide a connected cataloguing experience - connecting collectors and data sets from around the world on one easy to use platform.
FAQ
Linked Data
Today, much of the data we get from the web is delivered to us in the form of web pages - HTML documents that are linked to each other through the use of hyperlinks. Humans or machines can read these documents, but other than typically seeking keywords in a page, machines have difficulty extracting any meaning from these documents themselves[1]. The Semantic Web or “Web 3.0” is changing all of this by grouping data differently in a way that allows more access and more communication between data sets and machines. This represents a huge opportunity for the field of numismatics and is how numispaceTM is providing collectors, dealers and instiutions with the ability to access the entirety of known numismatic data at their fingertips like never before. Visit the NSR today and sign up to experience Connected Cataloguing through the power of Linked Data.

Why Ontology Matters
Leading numismatic institutions have agreed on an industry standard ontology and partnered on a project to make all known numismatic types available through linked data. The linking of these datasets assures the continuity and comprehensiveness of all known numismatic data and these datasets can only communicate if they each employ the same ontology. The numispaceTM NSR employs this standard ontology to give collectors seamless access to numismatic data sets, allowing them to retrieve information from and contribute information to the field of numismatics like never before.
