We aim to liberate the analytic and predictive powers of centuries of natural science data, held in the UK's exceptional collections of some 150m objects, so that UK and global policy and investment decisions are based on the best possible evidence for sustainable success. To scope this critical work, an investment of £130,000 will pay for [two dedicated posts and associated travel and equipment], to work with, support and train collections across the UK in developing:- A fuller understanding and dashboard of the UK's natural science collections holdings, and of digital capability across UK collections-holding institutions;- A strong UK network and vision, shaping blueprints for a distributed centre of excellence and collections data portal;- Approaches to building capability in digitisation and data mobilisation, developing training assets of lasting value for all types of collections and if possible applying training to one or more digitisation pilots releasing FAIR open data.These priorities have been informed by discussion with 15 stakeholders representing collections-holding institutions and networks from across the nations and regions of the UK.

我们的目标是解放几个世纪以来自然科学数据的分析和预测能力，这些数据保存在英国约1.5亿件特殊藏品中，以便英国和全球的政策和投资决策基于可持续成功的最佳证据。为了扩大这项关键工作的范围，13万英镑的投资将用于[两个专门的职位和相关的旅行和设备]，与英国各地的馆藏合作，支持和培训：-更全面地了解和掌握英国自然科学馆藏，以及英国馆藏机构的数字能力；-强大的英国网络和愿景，为卓越的分布式中心和收集数据门户制定蓝图；-建立数字化和数据动员能力的方法，为所有类型的馆藏开发具有持久价值的培训资产，并在可能的情况下将培训应用于发布FAIR开放数据的一个或多个数字化试点。这些优先事项是通过与来自英国各个国家和地区的15个代表收藏机构和网络的利益相关者的讨论得出的。
