| Engagement of Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) | Task 3.1.1 | NHM |
NHMMT will provide progress reports to the SAB every six months and seek opinion to ensure that the work undertaken, particularly the JRA, remains relevant and is utilising the most up-to-date technology available. SAB Members who have accepted the invitation already extended to them are: |

| Pilot study into optimal digitisation technologies and equipment | Task 3.1.3 | NHM |
In collaboration with the JRA, a pilot project will review operational aspects of access to new forms of digitised images. The study will seek to identify which digitisation techniques and equipment provide virtual collections that are most suitable to permit research on particular specimens. The pilot will involve gathering data from Participants on their current digitisation facilities and needs, plus a literature review and questionnaire on how their equipment has been used and their successes and challenges. The JRA will undertake further research on the use potential of key digitisation equipment with Participants that currently lack optimal facilities. Results will be fed back to manufacturers where appropriate to be used in their future R&D to develop new tools fit for market. |

| Pilot study into optimal crowdsourcing processes for NH institutions | Task 3.1.4 | NHM |
In collaboration with the JRA, a two-phase pilot project will be completed. Phase 1 will identify which are the most appropriate target groups for crowdsourcing. The review will include general public, amateur taxonomists/retired experts and other researchers. This will be achieved by: i) mapping the current Users of the collection facilities and then identify who are the ‘Power Users’; ii) data mine social media for active cyber users with a clear interest in biodiversity. These users will then be approached to engage in the crowdsourcing website development and testing. Phase 2 will look at what projects are the most appropriate and engaging for use with crowdsourcing efforts. The results will feed in to the development of the crowdsourcing websites (JRA, task 2.2) and can be used by other NH organisations interested in using crowdsourcing as a way of increasing the volume of data associated with their digitised collections. |
