Long-term Curation of Digital Objects
This issue includes the following elements:
- Annotations.
- Curation of workflows.
- Maintaining a collection that has been partially or fully digitised along with the physical collection.
- Curation of born digital objects.
- ICT issues involved in digital curation may be outside the scope (eg storage) although decision-making in this area was often being tasked to the digitisation curator and we may need to consider how we aim to come up with best practice for our area.
- Items not linked to Natural History collections were considered outside the scope.
- Internal curation workflows – our physical objects change over time so how do we maintain the digital version?
- Updating the physical specimens if the digital record changes.
- Correcting geographic data on the specimen – could be done when the specimen is being handled for other purposes.
