Method steps

1. Specimens have an old catalogue number but upon entering the new collection management software a new catalogue number is assigned that follows to a standardized format: BG-NMNHS-ORN-############.
2. The information found on the labels, such as old catalogue number, taxon name, locality, date of collection, and the names of collectors and determiners, was transcribed and translated into English before being entered into the database. Names of localities were transliterated using the Bulgarian Law for Transliteration. Names of administrative regions follow the EKATTEs.
3. The transcribed information, along with the assigned catalogue number, was subsequently utilized to generate new labels. If the specimen was revised in the meantime, the label would reflect the updated determination.
