  1. Virtual Herbaria ---> JACQ • General Thoughts • Composition / Structure / Size of a Herbarium Collection • Activities of internal staff (few K pa) • purpose driven activities (specific coll.) • random (general coll.) • Acquisition of material from external sources • personal herbaria (few K to 1 M)exchange of material (few K) • Acquisition of abandoned institutions (few 10K) • Merging of institutions / collections ( parallel worlds ) TDWG - New Orleans / 2011-12-03

  2. General Thoughts • Purpose and Value of a Herbarium Collection • Voucher material for scientific projects • Basis for Floristic and Taxonomic work • Historical evidence • Nomenclatural acts TDWG - New Orleans / 2011-12-03

  3. General Thoughts • Collaborative / Integrative / Open approach • once record is entered in common system reusable for others • Lookup tables (webservices) for • Person Names, incl. min. biographic data • Geographic Names • Scientific Names, incl. Common Name representations • Classification Systems (webservices ?) • Direct output of data via standard routes (csv, kml, ABCD) TDWG - New Orleans / 2011-12-03

  4. databasing issues • Legibility and perceivability of the label text • handwriting often using gothic letters; latin text • historical placenames and political entities • missing information • Taxonomy / Synonymy • old vs. current(ly used) names • differing taxonomies • Geographic Reference Systems • UTM / Lat/Long coordinates / raster grids TDWG - New Orleans / 2011-12-03

  5. Digitizing the Vienna Herbaria Pisa / 2007-09-12

  6. Prerequisites • webbased front end – platform „independent“– no separate client software installation • unicode • nomenclature – multiple taxonomies • GIS output capabilities TDWG - New Orleans / 2011-12-03

  7. Back End • MySQL 5.1 • input server + replicated output server(s) • image servers / SAN solution 20TB • Front End • php / javascript / xajax / jquery • Input / Output / Imageserver / AccessFuzzy Matching Services (Taxamatch) TDWG - New Orleans / 2011-12-03
