|[[Media:Global_collections_Advancing_scientific_research.pdf|Round Table Discussion]]:
*Digitising collections is not enough, you must make it known and available for searching and use.  The potential now exists to capitalise on this global massive investment in biodiversity so as to enable new science.<br>
*Bioinformatics/Digitisation is being perceived as a replacement for, rather than an aid to, systematic expertise, where collection curation has been disconnected from researchers.
*This topic envisages support of an international coordinating effort for collection digitisation research that would see to digitise collections for global impact across multiple institutions to address specific research questions. Integrating the process or products of digitisation into research needs to be capable of dealing with projects that are focused on 1) collection of the data, and 2) research use of this data.<br>

|Round Table Discussion:
*Significant cyberinfrastructure development has already seen advancement in the mobilization of biological collections data, and further positioning to be transformed by investment and collaborative efforts of organisation at international level. The mobilization and engagement of the ecological and evolutionary data associated with specimen collections is a grand challenge for the 21st Century with the development of cyberinfrastructure to promote efficient and standardised capture and mobilisation.

|-
|-
|15:40-17:00
|[[Media:Workflow_–_the_heart_of_successful_digitization_programs.pdf|Round Table Discussion]]:
*One of the most significant challenges facing the digitisation effort of biological collections is the design and implementation of complex workflows, which can vary significantly across different taxonomic types and sizes of collections and which need to adapt to collection management logistics unique to each institution.
*Much work has been done with developing workflows and protocols at the museum and collections level, but few of these workflows have been documented or made available to the larger collections community.
*iDigBio, is establishing an online repository for sharing existing customized workflows from as many collection types and institutions as possible. Here we offer the beginnings of the repository and encourage those in the community to both discuss the workflows, and to contribute to this resource by adding new workflows and updating existing workflows.
*Efficient and effective workflows are at the heart of any successful biological collections digitisation. Through unified efforts we envisage involving the creation of a publicly available, sustainable and comprehensive national and international collections information resource of digitisation workflows and protocols.<br>

*Online transcription centres, such as Notes from Nature, DigiVol, the Smithsonian Institution’s Transcription Center and Les Herbonautes, provide a means by which the public can contribute to digitisation of biocollections in ways and at scales that were previously not possible.  WeDigBio, an event of global mass digitisation planned for October 2015 and annually thereafter, will capitalize on these developments by providing a media campaign, cyberinfrastructure, and other support for the transcription centres and the biocollections using them. The event is planned to engage both widely distributed public participants and participants in transcription events held onsite at biocollections.  The latter can be used to strengthen local community support for biocollections and biodiversity research (e.g., as a launch for crowdfunding campaigns) and build sustainability.

*Effective project management requires a balance of technical skills with people skills. Technical skills include areas such as planning, estimating, measuring, and controlling. In contrast, people skills include areas such as leading, enabling, motivating, and communicating. Successful project managers are flexible in applying their knowledge and skills from both areas in the correct combination keep projects moving forward. This session will discuss aspects of project management in relation to strategies, tactics, and workflows for adapting to situations and driving things forward. We invite discussion of lessons learned, what works, and what doesn’t work based on your experience and then brainstorm new approaches.
