This is a step-by-step guide for digitizing and publishing insect specimen collection data through the Internet, with a brief review of the current situation of specimen data sharing networks both in Japan and worldwide. Nowadays, web-based database systems are becoming the standard method for publishing specimen collection data. The Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) is the most important global network, whereas the Science Museum Net (S-Net) is the museum specimen information network in Japan. During the data digitization process, we should focus on the data format adopted by these networks. A set of standard vocabulary, such as Darwin Core and Ecological Metadata Language, is available to describe data item names and metadata, respectively. We should also consider how to specify each record using identifiers in the Internet. A set of three codes, including the institution code, the collection code, and the specimen catalog number, is used as a standard identifier to specify a specimen in a museum collection. Quality control is the most time-consuming task in the digitization process. Functions of spreadsheet software and special tools for data cleansing can streamline the quality control process. Furthermore, we consider the terms of data usage. Recently, data releasing as open data has been recommended in the biodiversity field. The Creative Commons License is used as the standard license in GBIF and S-Net. Insect specimen collection data, written in standard format with proper metadata and published openly, can facilitate and promote data reuse and can be easily shared via networks such as GBIF and S-Net.
