<blockquote>Scientists in the United States have been studying and collecting macrofungi for the past 150 years, which has produced a legacy of some 1.4 million dried scientific specimens, in 35 institutions in 24 states. These institutions joined forces in an effort to digitize and share online data associated with these specimens. The resulting resource will enable a national census of macrofungi, and will allow researchers to better understand the diversity of these organisms.</blockquote> | <blockquote>Scientists in the United States have been studying and collecting macrofungi for the past 150 years, which has produced a legacy of some 1.4 million dried scientific specimens, in 35 institutions in 24 states.

Hackathon participants [[2013_Hackathon_Participants#Paul_Schroeder | Paul Schroeder]] and [[2013_Hackathon_Participants#Robin_Schroeder | Robin Schroeder]] are co-founders of [http://scioqualis.com ScioQualis.com]. Scio Qualis is a cloud-based Natural History Collections Management SaaS offering; hosted in the Windows Azure Cloud. Paul and Robin are also developers of a touch-enabled Windows 8 Metro App, ScioTR, designed for rapid data entry. ScioTR is a companion product that leverages OCR technology, is designed for crowdsourcing, and integrates with http://ScioQualis.com. | |||
For the iDigBio hackathon, Paul and Robin are exploring a queue-based workflow process using Microsoft Service Bus from the Cloud. Use of the Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) would ensure non-Windows applications have easy access (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Message_Queuing_Protocol). An AMQP hosted service bus can be accessed by developers regardless of whether they are using Java, PHP, Python, Node.js, C, Ruby, Perl, JavaScript or another language. | |||
