description: Access to Natural History Collections helps researchers to better understand the natural world.<br> Millions of digital images of herbarium specimens are openly available via the Internet.<br> However, using these images in a data-intensive research project raises basic questions like:<br> "How do I efficiently access, and verify, hundreds of thousands of images?", and, "How do I cite<br> a version of a large image corpus?" <br> Here, we present a method to cite, verify and mobilize such image corpora across different<br> locations and medium types. We demonstrate our method with &gt;100k images made available<br> through the Botanical Research Institute of Texas using available tools (e.g., rsync, Preston)<br> and technologies (e.g., internet, postal service). Our results show that our packaging method<br> allows the US Postal Service to transfer a packaged corpus at about 3 images/s, whereas<br> retrieving individual images via HTTP achieved a transfer rate of about 0.2 images/s. <br> Our results support that signed digital packaging of image corpora enables distributed storage<br> using readily available transfer and storage methods. In addition, our method is future proof<br> because they can be used with any digital media, including those that are not yet available. included files are: 00_Poelen_DD2023.mp4 - recorded presentation (see also https://vimeo.com/832006741) 00_Poelen_DD2023.pdf - presentation slides 00_Poelen_DD2023.pptx - presentation slides (powerpoint) 00_Poelen_DD2023_Abstract.pdf - presentation abstract.
