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)的大部分(约100,000个标本)盖特斯本植物标本馆(GAT)是栽培植物及其野生近缘植物(416,000个标本)的最大标本库之一，将被索引，以600x600 dpi扫描，并可在网上访问。除了基因库活体标本的标本馆标本外，另一个重点是属于深入研究的植物组(例如，葱属和大麦属)的标本库材料。用于分子和细胞遗传学研究的凭单标本保存在草药库中，供事后审查和进一步研究，也将被数字化。扫描的标本将通过收集标签数据(例如，条形码编号、学名、国家、原产地、采集者、采集日期、采集号、IPK基因库的登录号)来编入索引。这将需要对部分用旧德语书写的历史手写标签进行音译和解释。所有记录的信息都将链接到IPK基因库信息系统(GBIS)，并通过“德国虚拟植物标本馆”(BMBF资助)和其他门户网站，包括国家和国际生物多样性信息网络(如全球生物多样性信息基金--GBIF)，在网上免费获取。这些图像将在IPK长期存档。

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.
