What is Digitisation?
In narrow sense: making it digital• Digital form of occurrence record of the specimen• Linked to additional information: – taxonomic: determination, taxonomic history,
references; – curatorial: collection history, location; – multimedia: photo/audio/video/3D models/analysis
results etc.Broader: managing, using and sharing data
Processes:
• databasing/label or registry transcription• georeferencing• imaging• ingest into Emu
Different levels of digitisation:• Collection level
descriptions,taxonomic indexing,drawer level imaging (collection management)
• Specimen/lot occurrence records (ecological projects)
• High quality specimen imaging (taxonomic projects)
Functions of Digital Facilities• Help to organise your digitisation work: – design the best suited workflow, – recommend available instruments and tools, – ensure quality and following standards
• Provide labour force and manage larger digitisation projects
Prioritising and Planning:
Research/Collection Management/Facilities work together
• Justification – Users: researchers, curators, external users
• Scope: Collection Management and Users• Method: Facilities and Users and Collection
Management
