The UC Berkeley workshop will demonstrate work done to migrate the specimen collection of the University and Jepson Herbaria into CollectionSpace, including the development of workflows for image-based cataloging of specimen sheets. Community input on new work related to living and preserved collections, rapid data capture, data sharing, mapping, and georeferencing will be sought in order to provide the kinds of services needed in natural history collections. Finally, the meeting will develop this idea of a community-supported version of CollectionSpace that can be sustained as both the field and technology move forward.
