To view this herbarium sheet in high resolution the freizo digital collection provides a IIIF service, which can be used by the Open Source Mirador viewer. Use pinching gestures or a mouse or trackpad to see more detail.
The Herbarium specimen image of Campanula glomerata L. is part of the collection of the Botanic Garden and Botanical Museum in Berlin, accessible as https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1479631. Other herbaria sheets delivered by the ICEDIG project can be searched in Zenodo but can also be browsed in the freizo collection.

Metadata Enhancement
This freizo collection was built automatically from 1800 individual herbarium sheet deposits in the Zenodo global catch-all repository. The full metadata for Campanula glomerata L. corresponding to the Zenodo record accessible as https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1479631 can be viewed by searching for CAMPANULACEAE in freizo, which returns nine specimens from the Botanic Garden and Botanical Museum in Berlin and two further specimens from the collection of National Museum of Natural History, Paris, including this record 1479631. It is notable both that the Zenodo records from the two institutions differ in metadata structure, and also that not all metadata is available for search by Zenodo. The freizo workflow enables progress with these issues and also supports annotation of the herbaria sheets and enrichment to improve discovery and support new research.
research workflows
These slides summarise a research workflow—either for redelivery of existing research data to Trusted repositories tocomply with FAIR principles, or for development of new sustainable research activities by our partners. Data Futures can process a wide range of source data formats and generate Invenio and other repositories and databases, as well as Zenodo deposits, as output. It maintains data resources for partners in multiple domains from engineering to the humanities, life and physical sciences.
Scientific Annotation
Annotation of research data using embedded and stand-off annotation techniques is a long-standing source of metadata, but as part of ongoing research investment it has been difficult to make shareable or to preserve effectively. Since 2015 Data Futures has worked on redelivery of annotated corpora—which often use legacy or proprietary annotation technologies or hybrid and paper-based methods—to create new data resources based on Trusted repository and W3C Web Annotation Data Model (WADM) annotation technologies.
Annotations as Primary Research Assets
Standards-based scientific annotation, using WADM, together with Persistent IDentifiers (PIDs) and ORiginal Contributor IDentifiers (ORCID) enable robust preservation and sharing of annotated corpora and also effective discovery, sharing and re-use of annotations. Many of the research project case studies and repositories presented on this site address annotation made into primary research assets in their own right—accessible in Invenio repositories via Elasticsearch.
