* Existing crowdsourcing datasets from Notes From Nature: datasets with transcriptions of different types of collections labels:
** Herbarium labels: link to be provided
** Entomology labels: link to be provided
** Field notebooks: link to be provided
 
* Existing solution datasets to assess quality of crowdsourcing consensus:
** Herbarium labels ideal response: link to be provided
** Entomology labels  ideal response: link to be provided
** Field notebooks  ideal response: link to be provided
 
* [[CYWG iDigBio Image Ingestion Appliance]]:
** The appliance can be used to ingest the images to be used by the crowdsourcing service into the iDigBio storage, and made publicly accessible through HTTP. The relationship between the image filenames and the URL can be exported by the appliance in CSV format.
 
* Code from the aOCR Hackthon:
** HandwritingDetection (https://github.com/idigbio-aocr): an algorithm that separates images into sets with no handwriting, little handwriting (mostly text typed or printed), lots of handwriting, based on the noise generated by the OCR software.

This could be used to rank which images are in more need for human transcription.
