Strengths and challenges. The FinBIF Notebook Service is the result of several generations of developments of Software as a Service (SaaS) for citizen scientists. As early as the 1990’s, bulletin boards on the web were used to share records of observations, followed by several (sometimes competing) databases with web interface, etc. The large number of data in the current system is the result of migrating all data from several earlier systems into the Notebook Service. It has then been integrated into the FinBIF portal with data from digitised scientific collections of museums. (If we count these as well, the number of Lepidoptera records is 5.6 million out of which 617,000 are specimens, cf. above figures). This is a valuable pool of data which attracts users to also contribute their own observation and specimen records, further accelerating the accumulation of data. Another strength is that the system is being hosted and technically developed by the Finnish Museum of Natural History (LUOMUS). Most citizen associations (with the exception of Birdlife) have endorsed the system, which relieves the associations from the chore of maintaining a complex web database system with their limited resources. The challenge the system faces, considering its use for private collection digitisation, is its focus on field observations. There are forms for field gathering events only, not for digitising a box of insects organised by taxonomy. Citizen scientists who are serious about their own collection need something that resembles a Collection Management System (CMS) and has views and functions which are focussed on specimens and taxonomy. This is also relevant from the perspective of the museum which will one day inherit the private collection. Such a CMS for private collectors from SaaS is not yet available.

Strengths and challenges. The strengths of generalistic software is that these are readily available, as a rule do not have a steep learning curve, and are flexible when it comes to structuring data. Weaknesses of generalistic software is that carrying out specific tasks like printing a label or producing a map is not possible or requires a lot of detailed knowledge. Uploading data is another issue. Because generic software normally are used without a thesaurus providing standardised lookup tables, data quality may as well be an issue. Furthermore, there is no built-in support for generating unique identifiers to attach to the digitised specimens.
