  1. The Digital Facility – Supporting Digitisation Vladimir Blagoderov

  2. NHM Science Strategy and Digitisation The Digital NHM Origins, Evolution and Futures Biodiversity Discovery Natural Resources and Hazards Science, Society and Skills

  3. 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

  4. Processes: • databasing/label or registry transcription • georeferencing • imaging • ingest into Emu

  5. 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)

  6. Functions of Digital Facilities • Help to organise your digitisationwork: • design the best suited workflow, • recommend available instruments and tools, • ensure quality and following standards • Provide labour force and manage larger digitisation projects

  7. Prioritisingand 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

  8. Instruments: • Macrophotography

  9. Instruments: • Macrophotography • Photomicrography

  10. Instruments: • Macrophotography • Photomicrography • Herbarium scanning/photographing

  11. Instruments: • Macrophotography • Photomicrography • Herbarium scanning/photographing • Collection scanning

  12. Instruments: • Macrophotography • Photomicrography • Herbarium scanning/photographing • Collection scanning • Slide scanning 50,000 slides/year Up to 0.11μ/px 1,000,000 slides/year Up to 17μ/px
