DiSSCo, the Distributed System of Scientific Collections, is a pan-European Research Infrastructure (RI) mobilising, unifying bio- and geo-diversity information connected to specimens held in natural science collections delivering it scientific communities beyond. Bringing together 120 institutions across 21 countries combining earlier investments data interoperability practices with technological advancements digitisation, cloud services semantic linking, DiSSCo makes from available as one...
We describe an effective approach to automated text digitisation with respect natural history specimen labels. These labels contain much useful data about the including its collector, country of origin, and collection date. Our automatically extracting these takes form a pipeline. Recommendations are made for pipeline's component parts based on state-of-the-art technologies. Optical Character Recognition (OCR) can be used digitise images specimens. However, recognising quickly accurately...

Three dimensional (3D) virtualization and visualization is an important component of industry, art, museum curation cultural heritage, yet the step by process 3D has been little discussed. Here we review Idaho Virtualization Laboratory’s (IVL) virtualizing a heritage item (artifact) from start to finish. Each thoroughly explained illustrated including how object its metadata are digitally preserved ultimately distributed world.
This report investigates the current state of physical (mechanical) robotics, automated warehousing approaches and assistive technologies in relation to storage, handling processing (particularly digitisation) natural history collections. Robotics can sound futuristic, however we provide case studies that show many growing examples automation cultural heritage sectors, including barcodes conveyor belts for digitisation; robots handle multiple vials molecular genetic work; use display or...
