自然历史资料是评估人类活动对生物多样性影响的历史基线的基础。沿着这些路线，通过数字化标本的在线动员-标本数据转换为可访问的数字内容-大大扩展了跨学科的NHC收藏的使用。我们拓宽了当前的数字化愿景（数字化1.0）--标本在NHC内数字化--以包括依赖数字化产品而不是物理标本的新方法（数字化2.0）。数字化2.0建立在数字化1.0产生的数据、工作流程和基础设施的基础上，创建仅数字化的工作流程，促进数字化、策展和数据链接，从而通过创建新的注释层、增强全球社区的能力以及开发自动化方法来促进生物多样性的发现和保护，从而为物理标本带来价值。这些努力将改变大规模生物多样性评估，以解决基本问题，包括与全球变化的关键问题有关的问题。
Natural history collections (NHCs) are the foundation of historical baselines for assessing anthropogenic impacts on biodiversity. Along these lines, the online mobilization of specimens via digitization-the conversion of specimen data into accessible digital content-has greatly expanded the use of NHC collections across a diversity of disciplines. We broaden the current vision of digitization (Digitization 1.0)-whereby specimens are digitized within NHCs-to include new approaches that rely on digitized products rather than the physical specimen (Digitization 2.0). Digitization 2.0 builds on the data, workflows, and infrastructure produced by Digitization 1.0 to create digital-only workflows that facilitate digitization, curation, and data links, thus returning value to physical specimens by creating new layers of annotation, empowering a global community, and developing automated approaches to advance biodiversity discovery and conservation. These efforts will transform large-scale biodiversity assessments to address fundamental questions including those pertaining to critical issues of global change.
