iDigBio gathers information about public participation platforms to share with the natural history collections community, both as an online resource available to anyone, and as a reference specifically for participants in our Digitization Academy courses. We have asked representatives of each platform to respond to a survey containing a standard set of questions, which we believe can be helpful for potential new users comparing options. These surveys, as well as additional resources, are organized alphabetically below. | iDigBio gathers information about public participation platforms to share with the natural history collections community, both as an online resource available to anyone, and as a reference specifically for participants in our Digitization Academy courses.

== DoeDat == | |||
The DoeDat platform is designed for, and mainly directed towards, the transcription and enrichment of natural history collections. Over time, it has gained functionality that makes it attractive to other types of transcription tasks such as those in the digital humanities (postcards, maps, pictures, posters, etc.). DoeDat is also highly suitable for species detection and identification on camera trap (wild camera) images. | |||
