Research Infrastructure Contact Zones: a framework and dataset to characterise the activities of major biodiversity informatics initiatives [PDF]

Biodiversity Data Journal, 2022
The landscape of biodiversity data infrastructures and organisations is complex and fragmented. Many occupy specialised niches representing narrow segments of the multidimensional biodiversity informatics space, while others operate across a broad front,

Digitization and the future of natural history collections [PDF]

BioScience, 2019
Natural history collections (NHCs) are the foundation of historical baselines for assessing anthropogenic impacts on biodiversity. Along these lines, the online mobilization of specimens via digitization–the conversion of specimen data into accessible digital content–has greatly expanded the use of NHC collections across a diversity of disciplines.
