Date of Event: 23 Oct. 2022

Place: Natural History Museum Explorers Family Festival

Description: A digital jam on the use of plain English vs/specialised terminology for botanical specimens and their cultural meanings. The activity facilitates knowledge exchange on ways in which non-specialist users engage with Sir Hans Sloane botanical Jamaican collection, which can be used for labelling data entities and to model the design of the Sloane Lab Query Service and Knowledge Base.
