Digitisation / Cataloguing of non-textual objects: Development of an open source database on the plant collections from Mongolia (Mongolian Republic) held at the Herbarium of the University Halle-Wittenberg

哈雷-维滕贝格马丁路德大学植物标本馆收藏了世界第三大的蒙古共和国植物标本（约10，500），标本数量仅次于乌兰巴托（蒙古）和圣彼得堡彼得堡（俄罗斯联邦），是我们植物标本馆在国内和国际上使用最多的部分之一。这些重要的收藏品在科学和技术上都处于最佳状态，并存放在一个单独的房间里。为了使其在线访问和搜索，我们建议完整的数据库和地理参考标本的凭证信息。他们经常与出版的植被科学相关。我们打算使用一个由奥地利维也纳自然历史博物馆托管的成熟的、独立于计算机系统的数据库平台，该平台已经成功地用于我们标本馆的其他正在进行的项目，例如目前由安德鲁·W·梅隆基金会（美国）在“全球植物倡议”的框架内，并与其他重要的国际数据库，如“Tropicos”或“JSTOR植物科学”（另见我们自己的主页

The Herbarium of the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg harbours the worldwide third largest collection of plants from the Mongolian Republic (about 10,500), superseded in specimen number only by those in Ulaan Baatar (Mongolia) and St. Petersburg (Russian Federation), and is one of the nationally and internationally most used parts of our herbarium. This important collection is scientifically and technically in top condition and stored in a separate room. To make it online accessible and searcable, we propose to completely database and geo-reference the voucher information of the specimens. They are frequently associated also with published vegetation science releves. We intend to use an established, computer-system-independent database platform hosted by the Museum of Natural History in Vienna (Austria), which is successfully in use already in other ongoing projects of our herbarium, such as a type specimen project currently supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation (USA) in the frame of the `Global Plant Initiative´ and linked with other important international databases as `Tropicos´ or `JSTOR Plant Science´ (see also our own homepage
