Insights from Advancing the Digitization ofBiodiversity Collections (ADBC)
• ADBC Model Integrated Collections Network• Community Building• Resources developed• Lessons learned• Key components of such a program
3
How to get digitisation going (c. 2009)
• Step 1: Make a plan and get funding• Step 2: Create a central coordination program• Step 3: Fund digitization projects• Step 4: Digitize and organize• Step 5: Publish and use data
• ∞: figure out how to keep going

ADBC: Advancing Digitization of Biodiversity Collections
• A call from the community > NIBA• US National Science Foundation
– Budgetis$100millionover10years,weareinyear7.• The goal is to digitize and aggregate
• Provide portal access to biodiversity datain a cloud computing environment– Respondtocyberinfrastructureneeds– Enableaccess&discoverability
• Facilitate use of biodiversity data toaddress key environmental andeconomic challenges– Researchers,educators,generalpublic,
policy-makers,…• Plan for long-term sustainability of the
national digitization network & effort– Expandparticipation:partners,datasources,public,…– Proliferateandbroadenusesofbiodiversitydata

Advancing Digitization of Biodiversity Collections ADBCNational Digitization Network675 participating collections in 336 institutions (20 TCNs + 23 PENs)
Vertebrates,invertebrates,
plants, fossils, fungi,tissues, sounds,
videos, 2D, 3D, …
iDigBio Portal has1,537 recordsetscontaining 105M

and Export SpeciesOccurrences
• Southwest Collection of Arthropods TCN evolves– into SymbiotaCollectionsofArthropodsNetwork– Fromoneprojecttomanyprojects– Supportedbyacommonplatform– Customizedbasedoncommunityinput
• 3 TCNs SCAN, LepNet, and InvertEBase• Each museum or project is a separate collection in the database
