Digitisation / Cataloguing of non-textual objects: Exploitation of digital collection data at the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin

许多博物馆藏品以各种不同的数字格式登记，从文本文件到特定的数据库。不幸的是，这些信息通常只有一小部分收集人员可以访问。因此，该项目的目标是开发和实施通用传输工具，以实现向开放访问数据库，如BioCASE和GBIF的数据迁移。这将允许对收藏数据进行外部信息检索，从而为收藏的科学探索开辟新的视角。这些程序最初将用于博物馆的哺乳动物收藏，随后将应用于柏林自然博物馆的其他收藏品，共收藏3000万件物品。

Objects of many museum collections are registered in a variety of different digital formats ranging from text files to specific databases. Unfortunately, this information is usually accessible to a small number of collection staff only. Therefore, the project’s aims are the development and implementation of common transfer tools to achieve data migration to open-access databases as for example BioCASE and GBIF. This will allow external information retrievals of collection data and thus will open new perspectives for the scientific exploration of collections. The procedures will initially be developed for the museum’s mammal collection and will subsequently be applied to other collections of the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin housing a total of 30 million objects.
