Innovative Uses of Collections Data (by & for collections!) Shelley James & Deb Paul Typically the focus of digitization and funding is based on the downstream research use – how the availability of data can further science. However, collections themselves need to justify the continued digitization activities – to administrators, to funding agencies, to the broader internal and external community. How can digitization and understanding of biodiversity informatics help the collections themselves? Along with the standard convenience: Database queries to locate specimens – for loans, curation etc Inventory Research and data cleaning without leaving desk or handling specimen Reducing costs due to shipping and handling

Curation & data cleaning Duplicate resolution – georeferencing, determinations, missing data, outlier detection Clustering of data Patterns Nicky Nicholson (Kew), TDWG2016

Spatial & temporal analysis Flagging cultivated specimens Potential georeferencing errors Spatial analysis to flag outliers Potential new records E.g. CCH portal, NSW Flora Online

Expeditions and collecting Gap analysis in collections Taxon, spatial Matching data from different collections for “ecosystem” analysis Restore & Renew Also my PNG work Restore and Renew- collection to molecular & evolutionary genetic to future restoration

Cataloguing and estimating Utilizing databased portions of the collections to help validate collection size estimates – asset valuation

Join us! Innovative Uses of Collections Data Symposium Wednesday, 21st June 11:20-16:00 Curtis Hotel, Four Square

Innovation abounds! Innovative Inventory: Shedding light on dark data and creating new collection tools (Kathryn Estes-Smargiassi) Starting from scratch: Digitization of an entire collection ecosystem (Gary Motz) Analyzing the University of Colorado Herbarium (COLO) digital collection (J Ryan Allan) A digitized collection: Where next? (Anne Molineux) From the scrub to the web: Digitizing the collection at the Archbold Biological Station (Stephanie Leon) Deep Learning with Botanical Specimen Images (Sylvia Orli) Fantastic Fishes and Where to Find Them: A Dynamic Inventory of United States Fish Collections (Randy Singer) Georeferencing for Research Use (GRU): Innovative geospatial training using natural history collections (Shelley James) Poster: Update on the Fishes of Texas Project (Adam Cohen)

What are you doing in your collection that is innovative? Your turn! What are you doing in your collection that is innovative? What are other possible uses of collections data? Using available data to improve management efficiency Risk management Limitations (e.g. downgrading data) Learning opportunities
