I handle the data management for both the Living and Herbarium collections of the RBGE. This includes the provision of data to our online catalogues as well as providing data to numerous external data partners.
I map the Living Collections of the RBGE, across all four of its sites and I am developing tools for the RBGE staff to use this data.
I am interested in how technology can be used to improve the visitor experience to RBGE, and how it can improve productivity in the horticultural department.
I also work on information workflows within the RBGE herbarium particularity how software and hardware can help make the information held within the 3 million herbarium sheets more accessible.
