Interest Group Working Documents

Potential Meeting Topics

  • Using Geolocate for georeferencing herbarium collections (Nelson Rios): this could be a series of several webinars all focused on herbarium georeferencing.
  • Digital Photography 101: Morphology of a digital camera (Gil Nelson): this could also be series with more than one speaker.
  • Digital image file types and standards, what file formats mean and recommended practices: JPG, TIFF, NEF, CR2, DNG
  • Demonstration of Semi-automatic Label Information Extraction System (SALIX) (Daryl Lafferty): see for reference, http://nhc.asu.edu/vpherbarium/canotia/SALIX3.pdf
  • Uploading data through the Specify Workbench (Andy Bentley): this could also be a 3 or 4-part series
  • The future of NSF funding for small herbaria (NSF staff): where small herbaria fit into the picture
  • Digitization 101: Basics I need to know to start, initial steps for getting started (suggested from Small Herbarium Workshop at FSU)
  • What are Darwin Core and IPT?
  • OCR, Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing
  • What does digitization do for me?
