W03: State of Digitisation and Gap Analysis Surveys

Limited Capacity seats available

Abstract
Recent developments in digitisation technologies and equipment have enabled advances in the rate of natural history specimen digitisation. However Europe’s Natural History Collection Institutions are home to over one billion specimens and currently only a small fraction of these have been digitally catalogued with fewer imaged. ... https://doi.org/10.3897/biss.2.25969

W03: An Evaluation of In-house versus Out-sourced Data Capture at the Meise Botanic Garden (BR)

Limited Capacity seats available

Abstract
There are many ways to capture data from herbarium specimen labels. Here we compare the results of in-house verses out-sourced data transcription with the aim of evaluating the pros and cons of each approach and guiding future projects that want to do the same. In 2014 Meise Botanic Garden (BR) embarked on a mass digitization pr ... https://doi.org/10.3897/biss.2.26514

W03: Service-based information extraction from herbarium specimens

Limited Capacity seats available

Abstract
On herbarium sheets, data elements such as plant name, collection site, collector, barcode and accession number are found mostly on labels glued to the sheet. The data are thus visible on specimen images. With continuously improving technologies for collection mass-digitisation it has become easier and easier to produce high qua ... https://doi.org/10.3897/biss.2.25415

W03: Crowdsourcing, is it a good option for your collection digitization?

Limited Capacity seats available

More info...

Abstract
Globally there are a number of citizen science portals to support digitisation of biodiversity collections. Digitisation not only involves imaging of the specimen itself, but also includes the digital transcription of label and ledger data, georeferencing and linking to other digital resources. Making use of the skills and enthu ... https://doi.org/10.3897/biss.2.25410
