General Thoughts
Collaborative / Integrative / Open approach
once record is entered in common system reusable for others
Lookup tables (webservices) forPerson Names, incl. min. biographic data
Geographic Names
Scientific Names, incl. Common Name representations
Classification Systems (webservices ?)
Direct output of data via standard routes (csv, kml, ABCD)

databasing issues
Legibility and perceivability of the label texthandwriting often using gothic letters; latin text
historical placenames and political entities
missing information
Taxonomy / Synonymyold vs. current(ly used) names
differing taxonomies
Geographic Reference SystemsUTM / Lat/Long coordinates / raster grids
