SCAN digitization objectives
• Digitize 1 million records for southwestern ground-dwelling arthropods
• Produce 16,000 high-resolution images of species; promote identifications
• Leverage an interactive identification & annotation workflow via Symbiota

September, 2013: 510,262 records in SCAN
• 510,262 specimens in Symbiota• 300,984 (59%) georeferenced• 338,836 (66%) identified to species• 1,016 families• 8,056 genera• 17,538 species
Primary need: remote IDs

• New, remotely added identifications are grounded in the Annotation Ontology.
• FP team has developed Symbiota-integrated PHP Client Tools that record and push new annotations to the external FP infrastructure where statistics are kept.

Future work – 1st production-level Symbiota / FP implementation
• Optimization of SCAN "IDs Needed" user interface – thumbnail view
• Roll-out to the SCAN expert community, creation of expert profiles in FP
• Expansion beyond SCAN members, diversified notification systems
