My dream research related annotation project is to measure all specimens and annotate them with leaf, stem and inflorescence character measurements. Methodological/technical progress is being made in many groups. In Acacia with over a 1000 species and there are currently 46,700 specimen images with most but not all species represented. Can a large scale morphometric study could recapitulate the taxonomy? With all of these specimens sequenced in a phylogeny too (and distributions) we could learn a lot about evolution. Is this a broad case study across tree of life that would would appeal to funders?
What is a high level use case that our broad community can support and use to support annotations infrastructure development?
