5.Virtual HerbariumBaselineThe information system of the Virtual Herbarium uses the speciesLink1 network as its platform. In order to be able to follow the project’s progress concerning free and open availability of data through the Internet, a baseline was established as the project’s starting point (Table ). Table . Status of collaborating and associate collections (January, 2009)
Names in green indicate the collaborating and associate institutions that were not sharing data through the speciesLink network when the project began. Participating herbaria in January 2009 contributed a total of 2.7 million exsiccates of which 893.460 data records were online. This baseline includes only collaborating and associate institutions of the project, but the speciesLink network has data from other herbaria, both in Brazil and abroad that are repatriating their Brazilian records (Table ). Table . Herbaria that are making their data available through the speciesLink network and will be invited to become part of the Virtual Herbarium
Adding all data from Brazilian herbaria, the Virtual Herbarium’s baseline holdings sum to 3,616,327 records, of which 1,448,274 are online. As the estimated number of exsiccates deposited in Brazilian herbaria is 6 million, the Virtual Herbaria begins with about 60% of the total holdings directly or indirectly associated with the project. Furthermore, about 497 thousand records are geo-referenced, representing 34% of the online data. Concerning data repatriation, the Project begins with the Botanical Gardens of New York and Missouri which are repatriating 382,148 records, 135,628 (35%) of which are geo-referenced. This is the project’s base line and will in future serve as a parameter to evaluate the project’s progress.
