從生物多樣性資訊學觀點探討自然史博物館蒐藏數位化之應用

Exploring the Application of Collection Digitization in Natural History Museums: A Perspective of Biodiversity Informatics

指導教授 : 周文豪

摘要


自然史蒐藏做為知識產出的媒介不僅定義了自然史這門學科,其保存維護工作也伴隨著自然史博物館的出現。二十一世紀的重要議題:「生物多樣性」重新彰顯了自然史藏品的價值與學術重要性。一門結合生物多樣性研究與資訊科技所發展出的「生物多樣性資訊學」(Biodiversity Informatics),致力於研究與開發相關的資訊系統與管理工具,以提高資訊的可及性(accessibility)與互通性(interoperability)。此一新興領域使得自然史蒐藏數位化的意義與內涵產生了系統性的轉變。本研究旨在了解自然史博物館蒐藏數位化的演進,以及如何應用於生物多樣性研究議題。全文可分為三大部分。第一部份探討自然史博物館與蒐藏角色的演變,以及在生物多樣性議題之下所肩負的功能與使命;其次分析自然史博物館如何運用數位化技術於其蒐藏,包括蒐藏管理與數位博物館之發展;最後討論自然史博物館與國際研究社群如何藉由生物多樣性資訊學的幫助,整合全球生物多樣性研究資源。研究發現,當代自然史博物館在確立了保存生物多樣性的使命後,藉由參與不同層級的生物多樣性資訊計畫,可以達到區域整合與全球共享的目標,並以全民參與的願景為共識,組織出龐大但具彈性的研究社群,將為解決生物多樣性危機帶來新契機。

Natural history collections which act as means for knowledge production define the discipline of natural history, alongside the emergence of natural history museums to serve as curation and research centres. The research values and importance of natural history collections are highlighted once again by the issues of biodiversity in the 21st century. Biodiversity informatics is an emerging field that devoted to advance the accessibility and interoperability of biodiversity data. It utilizes computer technologies to develop related information systems and tools and has transformed the meaning and practice of natural history collection digitization. This paper intends to explore the evolution of collection digitization in natural history museums and its application to biodiversity researches. It is composed of three parts. The first part deals with the evolution of natural history museums and their collections. It also discusses their new responsibilities and missions facing the issues of biodiversity. Second, it explores how natural history museums apply digital technology to theirs collections, from management purpose to the development of digital archives. The final part depicts the process of integration of global biodiversity resources with the aid of biodiversity informatics and analyses the interdisciplinary co-operation between natural history museums and the international scientific communities. We find that it’s possible for natural history museums in present day to fulfill the goal of integration and sharing information of collection. A huge but flexible research community can be created by this way, and it will bring new opportunities for us to deal with the biodiversity crisis.
