Digital Botanical Gardens Initiative
Open workflows for botanical chemo- and biodiversity.
The Digital Botanical Gardens Initiative is an Open Science initiative exploring robust and scalable workflows for digitizing chemo- and biodiversity, from botanical collections to the global scale in wild ecosystems.
We work with botanical gardens, metabolomics researchers, biodiversity scientists, and knowledge-management communities to make living collections easier to sample, describe, connect, and reuse as open scientific knowledge.
Focus
From living collections to reusable knowledge.
Botanical collections as living infrastructure
DBGI connects botanical garden collections, field sampling, biodiversity metadata, and open research practices.

The initiative develops sample collection, tracking, metabolomics, and analysis workflows for documenting chemical diversity.

Outputs are organized as reusable knowledge resources, combining open notebooks, public code, and semantic web technologies.

Work with the garage door up.
Early ideas, research notes, and software are shared as the work develops, inviting reuse and discussion across biodiversity, metabolomics, and knowledge-management communities.
