Integrated Digitized Biocollections (idigbio.org) at the University of Florida (UF), Florida State University (FSU), and Arizona State University (ASU) is the national coordinating body for the sustained effort to digitize, and make available online, the vast amount of information in the nation's biodiversity collections, which may contain up to 1 billion specimens. For biological specimens, information digitized include names of species, localities and dates of collection, digital photographs, sound, video, and 3-D models created from a variety of sources. This community digitization effort was catalyzed by NSF’s Advancing Digitization of Biodiversity Collections (ADBC) program via Thematic Collections Networks (TCNs), groups of institutions that digitize specimens to address a major research topic such as the relationship between agricultural crops and insects or the impacts of invasive species on natural ecosystems. iDigBio assists in coordinating activities of the TCNs by facilitating development of standards and workflows for digitization of specimens and related information, providing cyberinfrastructure resources to enable long-term preservation of digital data, promoting novel and traditional uses of collections data in research and outreach, and working with the collections community to plan for the long-term sustainability of the national effort and the resources it has produced. The availability of digitized information about specimens greatly enhances the ability to conduct research on biological diversity and to address some of the most fundamental questions in biology.Over the past ten years, the national effort to digitize information in the nation's biodiversity collections has been significantly advanced by the activities of iDigBio. Collaborations with data providers and users have been developed, goals and priorities defined, best practices related to digitization identified, and global collaborations with biodiversity data aggregators established. Cyberinfrastructure resources, including a national search portal, have been provided. These community-driven activities have led to improved digitization practices, increased involvement in digitization and training, and adoption of instruments and informatics tools that improve the efficiency and scalability of digitization and research workflows in all types of biodiversity collections. iDigBio works with staff in more than 926 collections in 317 institutions distributed across all 50 states. Communication among stakeholders to increase access to collections data has been established through workshops, webinars, and the use of social media. Since 2011, iDigBio has sponsored attendance of 16,768 participants from 1,034 institutions to 430 workshops, webinars, symposia, and events that targeted digitization-related topics. iDigBio has ingested 1,651 record sets containing 128 million specimen records and 41 million media records. All data ingested are indexed to enable queries and other types of index-based access. Searches for data can be done through a Web-based graphical interface or through programmatic APIs. Search and analytical tools enable users to mine diverse data such as taxonomy, location, images, traits, and vocalizations. During this award period, iDigBio to continue its successful strategies with an increasing emphasis on data improvement and use in research and outreach and to incorporate such rapidly developing technologies as artificial intelligence and machine learning in biodiversity data integration. iDigBio is recognized as an essential resource for information on biodiversity and digitization. As the scientific and societal benefits of validated collections data are realized, digitization will become a common and sustained practice in natural history collections.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

佛罗里达大学 (UF)、佛罗里达州立大学 (FSU) 和亚利桑那州立大学 (ASU) 的综合数字化生物馆藏 (idigbio.org) 是国家协调机构，致力于持续努力将大量生物信息数字化并在线提供国家生物多样性收藏中可能包含多达 10 亿个标本，数字化信息包括物种名称、采集地点和日期、数码照片、声音、视频和信息。从各种来源创建的 3D 模型是由 NSF 推进生物多样性收藏数字化 (ADBC) 计划通过主题收藏网络 (TCN) 推动的，该网络是数字化标本以解决重大研究主题的机构团体。 iDigBio 致力于研究农作物与昆虫之间的关系或入侵物种对自然生态系统的影响，通过促进 TCN 的发展来协助协调 TCN 的活动。标本和相关信息数字化的标准和工作流程，提供网络基础设施资源以实现数字数据的长期保存，促进馆藏数据在研究和推广中的新颖和传统用途，并与馆藏界合作制定长期规划国家努力及其所产生的资源的可持续性大大增强了进行生物多样性研究和解决生物学中一些最基本问题的能力。在过去的十年中，国家的努力。将信息数字化iDigBio 的活动显着推进了国家生物多样性收集工作，制定了目标和优先事项，确定了与数字化相关的最佳实践，并建立了与生物多样性数据聚合商的全球合作，包括网络基础设施资源。这些社区驱动的活动改善了数字化实践，增加了对数字化和培训的参与，并采用了提高效率和可扩展性的仪器和信息学工具。 iDigBio 与分布在所有 50 个州的 317 个机构的 926 个馆藏的工作人员合作，通过研讨会、网络研讨会和使用来增加对馆藏数据的访问。自 2011 年以来，iDigBio 已赞助来自 1,034 个机构的 16,768 名参与者参加了 430 场研讨会、网络研讨会、 iDigBio 已采集了 1,651 个记录集，其中包含 1.28 亿条样本记录和 4100 万条媒体记录，以便对数据进行查询和其他类型的搜索。通过基于 Web 的图形界面或编程 API 完成，搜索和分析工具使用户能够挖掘各种数据，例如分类、位置、图像、特征和发声。在此颁奖期间，iDigBio 继续其成功的战略，加大数据改进和在研究和推广中的使用，并将人工智能和机器学习等快速发展的技术纳入生物多样性数据集成，被认为是生物多样性信息的重要资源。随着经过验证的馆藏数据的科学和社会效益得到实现，数字化将成为自然历史馆藏中的常见且持续的做法。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。
