PURPOSE The Integrated Digitized Biocollections (iDigBio) implementation planning consists of this living document, which contains a high-level overview as well as more detailed milestones describing the project’s implementation. This implementation plan synthesizes a variety of high-level actions within the project’s five domains: (1) Project Administration & Management, (2) Education & Outreach, (3) Serving the Research Community, (4) Digitization, and (5) Cyberinfrastructure. This Implementation Plan will be modified as activities mature and information changes. 2. PROJECT SUMMARY Integrated Digitized Biocollections (iDigBio) is the National Resource, or Home Uniting Biocollections (HUB), for
