Abstract：
Worldwide, herbaria maintain collections of reference specimens representing global plant diversity. These collections are a valuable resource for fundamental botanical research and applied scientific research across various disciplines, and play a significant role in addressing major societal challenges such as biodiversity conservation. The digitisation of herbarium specimens and their online dissemination is one of the most important recent developments in the curation of these collections. Digitisation significantly enhances access to the collections for the research community and facilitates large-scale analysis of biodiversity data. Digitisation also provides a means for preserving the physical specimens, as it reduces the need for handling and transportation. Rapid technological developments have greatly accelerated the rate of databasing and digital imaging of collections. Meise Botanic Garden recently completed a six-year project to mass digitise its herbarium collections of about 3 million specimens mounted on sheets and through this process we have learned valuable lessons. We have captured our experience in 10 recommendations for other collection-holding institutions to take inspiration from as they start planning their own digitisation efforts. We also present case studies where we delve deeper into certain topics as examples.
摘要：
全球,草本保存着代表全球植物多样性的参考标本。这些藏品是各种学科基础植物学研究和应用科学研究的宝贵资源，并在解决生物多样性保护等重大社会挑战方面发挥重要作用。植物标本室标本的数字化及其在线传播是这些馆藏策展中最重要的最新进展之一。数字化显着增强了研究界对馆藏的访问，并促进了对生物多样性数据的大规模分析。数字化还提供了一种保存物理标本的方法，因为它减少了处理和运输的需要。快速的技术发展大大加快了数据库化和馆藏数字成像的速度。MeiseBotanicGarden最近完成了一项为期六年的项目，将其植物标本室收集的约300万件标本安装在床单上，通过这一过程，我们学到了宝贵的经验教训。我们在10项建议中积累了我们的经验，供其他收藏机构在开始计划自己的数字化工作时从中汲取灵感。我们还提出了案例研究，我们深入研究某些主题作为例子。
