1. Label Processing Methods for HelpingScience.org Developed by SilverBiology Michael Giddens

2. Identify Label OCR Label Identify Primary DwC Fields Enter Values for Fields Accept Value for Each Field Assemble Label Data Basic Label Process

3. DwC Fields What we try to capture. Scientific Information (Family, Species, Author) Collection Information (Name, Number, Date) Geographical Information (Country, State, County, Locality, Lat/Lon, TRS) Determination Information What we leave on the label. Habitat Information Locality Description Collector Notes Other

4. Evernote OCR Processing Sample JPG label JSON output $5/500MB per month ~ label cost: $0.001

5. sadfswf Matching against sources IPNI, ISO Country, Date Ranges, Collectors List 1) Word Type: String DwC Type : Genus 2) Word type: String DwC Type: Epithet 3) Word type: Date DwC Type: CollDate DarwinCore prediction example Asplenium Asplenlum Asplen1um platyneuron 1978
