Why collaborate
Lessons of collaborations by herbaria
Long tradition in Australasian herbaria
Central Australian Flora, Flora of Australia, State Floras

HISCOM
Australia’s Virtual Herbarium
Shoestring AVH partly AVH2/EWS (Weeds CRC)
AVH Data Capture project - NHT
Australian Plant Census (APC) – Cwlth DEW
GBIF/TDWG
Species Profiles – weeds, EPBC act (Cwlth DEW)
Museums – Herbaria: Atlas of Living Australia
(NCRIS)
Aims of meeting
Seek collaboration in Efloras
Why the urgency
Raised early in 2007
CHAH phone hookup in June/July 2007
CHAH at AGM in September 2007 agreed to this
meeting on basis of current eFlora projects:
Existing eFlora pushes
My driver: Flora of South Australia
Also Marine Flora of WA
To wait for ALA may take longer than anticipate – already
delays
Aims of meeting
Outcomes of collaboration in Efloras
Sharing of ideas improved approaches
Ensure against going down cul de sacs
Cost savings
Avoiding double handling
Develop a roadmap for a common approach
resolution – only as much as we can provide
Data standard for interchange
Cf. AVH – each specimen database differs HISPID5
data dictionary
cf. APC – traditional – are our censuses compatible?
What we don’t want
Don’t lose sight of
current global developments

Other global projects – Species Plantarum
