Natural History institutes hold an immense number of specimens and artefacts. For years these collections were not accessible online, remaining inaccessible to researchers from far away hidden the general public. Large digitisation projects cross-institutional agreements aim bring their into digital era, such as SYNTHESYS+ project Distributed System Scientific Collections (DiSSCo) Research Infrastructure. As are 3D physical objects with different characteristics many techniques available...
Abstract Herbarium specimens are increasingly recognized as an important resource for conservation science and virtual herbaria making freely available to a wider range of users than ever before. Few designed with use primary driver. Exceptionally, Brazil's Reflora Virtual (RVH) was created increase knowledge the Brazilian flora. The RVH is closely integrated Flora Brazil 2020 platform on which new national under construction. Both resources accessible via home page thousands move seamlessly...
The digitisation of herbarium collections has shown to provide a growing resource in conservation science. Mobilising the data on portals such as GBIF allows researchers access key taxonomic, habitat and geographical that would otherwise be unavailable unless institutions are physically visited. These used notably assessments, distribution studies publication new species (Canteiro et al. 2019). specimens held Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, Natural History Museum, London, Garden Edinburgh an...
Distributed Systems of Scientific Collections (DiSSCo) a pan-European Research Infrastructure will facilitate the production tens millions digital images natural history specimens each year. The labels these contain valuable information for research, but their transcription can be difficult and time-consuming, with often hard to read handwritten labels. Whilst accurate label is only one step along way create specimen record fit different research uses, it an extremely important one. It would...
