Digitisation / Cataloguing of non-textual objects: Indexing and digitization of the herbarium of wild and cultivated plants of IPK Gatersleben

莱布尼茨植物遗传学和作物植物研究所（IPK）的Gatersleben植物标本馆（GAT）是最大的栽培植物及其野生亲缘植物标本馆之一（41.6万份标本），其中很大一部分（约10万份标本）将被编入索引，以600x600 dpi扫描，并在网上开放。除了基因库的植物标本外，另一个重点是属于深入研究的植物群的植物标本（如Allium L.和Hordeum L.）。分子和细胞遗传学研究的代金券标本，保存在植物标本室，供事后审查和进一步研究，也将数字化。通过收集标签数据（如条形码号、学名、国家、原产地、收集者、收集日期、收集号、IPK基因库入库号）对扫描的植物标本进行索引。这将需要部分以旧德文书写的历史手写标签进行音译和解释。所有记录的信息将链接到IPK基因库信息系统（GBIS），并通过“德国虚拟植物标本馆”（bmbf资助）和其他门户免费在线访问，包括国家和国际生物多样性信息网络（例如全球生物多样性信息设施- GBIF）。这些图像将长期保存在IPK。

A large proportion (about 100,000 specimens) of the Gatersleben Herbarium (GAT) of the Leibniz Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research (IPK), one of the largest herbaria of cultivated plants and their wild relatives (416,000 specimens), will be indexed, scanned with 600x600 dpi and made accessible online. In addition to herbarium specimens of the living collection of the genebank, another focus is on herbarium material belonging to intensively studied plant groups (e.g. the genera Allium L. and Hordeum L.). Voucher specimens for molecular and cytogenetic studies, which are deposited in herbaria for ex post review and further studies, will also be digitized. The scanned herbarium specimens will be indexed by collecting label data (e.g., barcode number, scientific name, country, locality of origin, collector, collection date, collection number, accession number of the IPK genebank). This will require historical handwritten labels partly in old German script to be transliterated and interpreted. All information recorded will be linked to the IPK Genebank Information System (GBIS) and made freely online accessible via the "German Virtual Herbarium" (BMBF-funded) and other portals, including national and international biodiversity information networks (e.g. Global Biodiversity Information Facility – GBIF). The images will be long-term archived at the IPK.
