Digitalisierung / Erschließung von Objekten: Integriertes Datenmanagement für die digitale Erschließung zoologischer und paläontologischer Sammlungsbestände (IDES)
Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse
The DFG-funded research infrastructure project IDES (http://ides.snsb.info) was designed to set up a high performing information infrastructure to be used by the institutions belonging to the Staatliche Naturwissenschaftliche Sammlungen Bayerns (SNSB). In the project, data of natural history collection specimens with the focus on the fish group Actinopterygii from Europe and adjacent seas, starting from the Mesozoic era (Trias) until collections of extant fishes were mobilized. In total, more than 39,500 objects were digitized from which more than 28,000 data records (with information on occurrences and other important object-assigned information) are now open and freely accessible in the internet. More than 47,000 images were newly generated or mobilised. 40,000 of these images are now open and freely accessible online. The data refers to 31,064 extant fish specimens of the Staatssammlung für Anthropologie und Paläoanatomie München (SAPM) and the Zoologische Staatssammlung München (ZSM). Two third (19,497) of these collection objects are georeferenced and each fifth (4,277) is imaged. The other 8,473 digitalised collection objects are fossil fishes from the Bayerische Staatssammlung für Paläontologie und Geologie (BSPG) and the Jura-Museum Eichstätt (JME). Nearly all of them are georeferenced (8,305) and imaged (8,232). Most of the IDES data and images of high quality are accessible via the national and international scientific portals of GBIF, GFBio and BiNHum. In the near future, they will also be available via domain-specific portals like GeoCASE, FishBase and FishNet 2. Two taxon lists were published in the context of the IDES project. The “Taxon list of Jurassic Pisces of the Tethys Palaeo-Environment compiled at the SNSB-JME” was published via GBIF. This was an essential pre-contribution, to have the fishes from the Solnhofener Plattenkalke displayed correctly in the GBIF portal. The second list is curated by ZFMK partners and published via GBIF in cooperation with the GBOL project. It offers a standard name list for fishes of Germany. Both lists are also available via a standard REST Web Service at the SNSB IT Center. For the integrated data management of collection, taxonomic and stratigraphic data as well as data from morphological measurements and metadata of multimedia objects the database suite Diversity Workbench was used. The tools and pipelines for data processing were extended for the needs of the project partners. The software solutions address all steps of the data life cycle for SNSB collection objects. The architecture and operation of the digitalization stations at the single partner institutions were documented in detail. The imaging and image processing was done using international data exchange standards. The SNSB IT Center will continue to run the established IT infrastructure for data, image and metadata management after the end of the IDES project and promote its use in other natural history collections and bio- and geodiversity research projects.
