Abstract
"Integrated Digitized Biocollections (iDigBio) is a nation-wide effort funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) to digitize data from hundreds of millions of natural history museum specimens. In a concerted five-part outreach effort, the iDigBio Augmenting Optical Character Recognition Working Group (A-OCR WG) coordinated a 2013 iConference Workshop, Poster, Notes submission, Alternative Event and a concurrent Hackathon hosted by the Botanical Research Institute of Texas (BRIT). The Workshop titled, "" Help iDigBio Reveal Hidden Data: iDigBio Augmenting OCR Working Group Needs You"" introduces the iSchools community to iDigBio and the A-OCR WG mission and challenges to improve digitization efficiency. This related Alternative Event provides the A-OCR WG an opportunity to report back to iConference Workshop attendees about our first experience using a Hackathon model to work on parsing and user interface design issues specific to our needs. We anticipate to a lively, open discussion with event attendees and future collaborators."
