the last new vision what to do with all this data, usually from people who never did the collection work themselves. Many here who has handled large old collections, where at least some procent of the collection was identified by non-specialists, so many years
ago that, at that time, the concept of that species was not even in the same family as today. The most extreme case are those Linnaean types which was never studied since Linnaeus death!

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">As the exciting work that many of us have been engaged in for the past 10 - 20 years, to digitze our collections and thereby make them more accessible, grows in support, complexity
and achievement, I wish to offer a warning and a comment.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">I believe the term "digital twin" should be avoided and replaced by "digital proxy", "digital surrogate" or just "digital specimen". The word twin implies that the digital specimen
is absolutely identical to the physical specimen, which it is clearly not. The physical specimen can subjected to new forms of physical analysis and at greater resolutions, in a way that a digital surrogate cannot. Also, the cynic in me knows that before long,
a hard pressed administrator will argue that if we have the digital twin we don't need the physical twin.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">I am also concerned with the use of the term PID - persistent identifiers. Collections have been using persistent identifiers - unique registration numbers - for over two hundred
years (and the British Geological Survey since 1849). Actionable or executable persistent identifiers are a vital tool for linking to objects, but are a very much newer concept. It seems disingenuous of data scientists not to acknowledge two centuries of
good practice (and all the hard work of curators and registrars) and instead use an acronym such as EPID or APID?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
