Abstract
Herbarium digitization is a strategic process that transforms physical collections into accessible, standardized, and interoperable digital format, thereby improving their preservation, accessibility, and scientific value. The paper emphasizes that successful digitization requires long-term planning, including clear objectives, workflows, resource allocation, quality control, and sustainable data management. It proposes organizing digitization through three complementary teams (i.e., Digitization, Archiving, and Implementation) and frames their roles through the DIPA2 concept, which covers data, imaging, publishing, archiving, and application.
