Digital Taiwan – Culture & Nature Project Director: Dr. Kwang-Tsao Shao ( 邵廣昭研究員 ) Project Co-Director: Dr. Cheng-Yun Liu ( 劉錚雲研究員 ) Project assistants: Kun-Chi Lai ( 賴昆祺 ) Lee-Sea Chen ( 陳麗西 ) Jun-He Gao ( 高君和 ) Chih-Jen Ko ( 柯智仁 ) Elie Chen ( 陳岳智 )

Phase I: National Digital Archives Program (NDAP)
From 2002 to 2006, representative material of Taiwan’s assets were digitized and over three million pieces were accumulated.
An national effort on archiving the diversity of Taiwan that includes cultural heritage and natural resources.
Participating organizations include Academia Sinica, National Palace Museum, National Taiwan University, National Museum of Natural Science, National Museum of History, Taiwan Historica, National Archives Administration, etc.
Contents can be accessed through one window － Union Catalog.

Phase II: Taiwan e-Learning and Digital Archives Program (TELDAP)
NDAP and e_Learning program were integrated in 2008. Division VIII (International Collaboration and Promotion) was established to promote internationalization and enhance global awareness of TELDAP, and establish an cooperation network.
English portal “ Digital Taiwan – Culture & Nature ” was created
To complement existing Chinese portal
To integrate non-TELDAP digitalization results to broaden contents
To conduct cross-discipline cooperation and explore Taiwan history
To share Taiwan’s digitization achievements with global community and contribute to international digitization effort

Advantages of Digital Taiwan – Culture & Nature (1) Culture
Sinology
Electronic resources for Chinese language and literature
Metal and Stone Rubbings
Ancient books
Rare book collections
Documents
Key assets of art, history, literature, philosophy, etc. are translated year by year from Chinese into English. Search function is provided by the portal for easy access to the contents.

Advantages of Digital Taiwan – Culture & Nature (2) Biodiversity
Land Area of the Earth : 150,142,300 km 2
Area of Taiwan : 35,800 km 2
Area of Taiwan/World : 0.02%
Fishes : 2,900/26,000 = 10%
Birds : 456/9,040 = 4.65%
Mammals : 71/4,000 = 1.78%
Reptiles : 97/6,300 = 1.54%
Amphibians : 34/4.84 = 0.84%
Insects : 20,000/751,000 = 2.6%
Plants : 4,000/200,000 = 2% of global plant diversity
Tropic of Cancer

Framework

Challenges
Union Catalog, created by NDAP, uses Dublin Core metadata which is not suitable for biological collections.
Translation pace is slow since digitized material are highly professional and expert assistances are needed.
IPR problem
How to raise public interest
Produce interesting presentation platform (multimedia, 3D)
Encourage and attract public interaction
Long-term and sustainable management

Our Solutions (1)
Establish collection level
Website navigation menu:
Exhibition ( 展覽 )
Facets of Taiwan ( 珍藏特展 )
A Slice of Wonder ( 精品賞析 )
Educational Resources
Photo Gallery
Multimedia
Increase collaborative organizations
TELDAP institutions
Non-TELDAP institutions such as Government Information Office, Tourism Bureau, and National Museum of Taiwan Literature.

Our Solutions (2)
Serve the needs of biodiversity community and integrate Taiwan’s vast amount of species occurrence data (estimated to be more than one million records).
Most biological information are in the forms of numbers and tables, without the translation problem.
There are successful international examples to follow:
GBIF (TAPIR and Darwin Core)
EOL (LifeDesk)
Catalogue of Life
Barcode of Life

Integrate domestic biodiversity databases and link to global databases GBIF (Global Biodiversity Information Facility) ) Species 2000 (COL), EOL, BOL, TOL, ITIS, BIOS, BioNET-International, etc. Species 2000 AO, ASEANET, PACINET, PBIF, etc. Global species databases e.g. FishBase , AntBase, AlgaeBase, etc. TELDAP / TaiBIF (national node of GBIF) Global Regional (Asia, Asia Oceania or Pacific) Taiwan TaiBNET (species checklist & experts namelist) TELDAP (specimen database) TBRD (distribution database) Biodiversity Local organisms database (e.g. Fish Database of Taiwan ) Local Institutions, NGOs, heritages, projects and publications, etc.

Our Solutions (3)
Serve the needs of international cultural community. Together with Sub-Project 1’s multilingual project, which concentrates on translating the Union Catalog material, to present to the world an easy and accessible choice to Taiwan’s numerous archives.
