Institut für Pflanzenschutz in Ackerbau und Grünland
A herbarium focused on weeds was set up in the former Institute for Weed Research, which was continually expanded until the 1990s. This herbarium is accessible and can be viewed. However, it is hardly known and most potential interested parties are not on site. For this reason, the herbarium is to be digitised and made available to a broad public via the "Virtual Herbarium Germany".For this purpose, each cover is given a machine-readable number. The records are then digitised using the photo line of the Botanical Institute of the University of Göttingen. The metadata is then read out. For this purpose, it will be examined whether and to what extent AI tools can be used. However, as the amount of metadata is small, manual digitisation will also be evaluated and possibly carried out. The final step is to save the scans in the JKI's deep repository and publish the data via the ‘Virtual Herbarium Germany’. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
