The concept of semantic tagging and its potential for enhancements to taxonomic papers is outlined illustrated by four exemplar published in the present issue ZooKeys. were created different ways: (i) written Microsoft Word submitted as non-tagged manuscript (doi: 10.3897/zookeys.50.504); (ii) generated from Scratchpads XML-tagged manuscripts 10.3897/zookeys.50.505 doi: 10.3897/zookeys.50.506); (iii) an author's database(doi: 10.3897/zookeys.50.485) manuscript. XML implemented during...
Biodiversity data is being digitized and made available online at a rapidly increasing rate but current practices typically do not preserve linkages between these data, which impedes interoperation, provenance tracking, assembly of larger datasets. For associated with biocollections, the biodiversity community has long recognized that an essential part establishing preserving to apply globally unique identifiers point when are generated in field persist downstream, this seldom implemented...
The biodiversity domain, and in particular biological taxonomy, is moving the direction of semantization its research outputs. present work introduces OpenBiodiv-O, ontology that serves as basis OpenBiodiv Knowledge Management System. Our intent to provide an fills gaps between ontologies for resources, such DarwinCore-based ontologies, semantic publishing SPAR Ontologies. We bridge this gap by providing focusing on taxonomy. OpenBiodiv-O classes, properties, axioms domains scholarly...

This paper describes a set of guidelines for the citation zoological and botanical specimens in European Journal Taxonomy. The stipulate controlled vocabularies precise formats presenting examined within taxonomic publication, which allow rich data associated with primary research material to be harvested, distributed interlinked online via international biodiversity aggregators. Herein we explain how EJT editorial standard was defined this initiative fits into journal’s project semantically...
We describe a method to publish nomenclatural acts described in taxonomic websites (Scratchpads) that are formally registered through publication printed journal (ZooKeys). This is fully compliant with the zoological code. Our approach supports manuscript creation (via Scratchpad), electronic act registration ZooBank), online and print (in ZooKeys) simultaneous dissemination (ZooKeys Scratchpads) for nomenclatorial including new species descriptions. The workflow generation of manuscripts...
We review the three most widely used XML schemas to mark-up taxonomic texts, TaxonX, TaxPub and taXMLit. These are described from viewpoint of their development history, current status, implementation, use cases. The concept "taxon treatment" taxonomy into is discussed. TaxonX taXMLit primarily designed for legacy literature, former being more lightweight with a focus on recovery taxon treatments, latter providing much detailed set tags facilitate data extraction analysis. an extension...
Specimen data in taxonomic literature are among the highest quality primary biodiversity data. Innovative cybertaxonomic journals using workflows that maintain structure and disseminate electronic content to aggregators other users; such is lost traditional publishing. Legacy a vast repository of knowledge about biodiversity. Currently, access resource cumbersome, especially for non-specialist consumers. Markup mechanism makes this more accessible, suited machine analysis. Fine-grained XML...
Abstract Editor's Summary Though natural history collections are long established and numerous, data on biodiversity is sparse, poorly developed, inconsistent rarely digitally preserved, their providers often inaccessible. The Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) the Taxonomic Databases Working Group ( TDWG ) for Standards leading efforts to overcome such barriers. GBIF has collected over 200 million records formally describing specimens from hundreds of sources, while also...
The Open Biodiversity Knowledge Management System (OBKMS) is an end-to-end, eXtensible Markup Language (XML)- and Linked Data (LOD)-based ecosystem of tools services that encompasses the entire process authoring, submission, review, publication, dissemination, archiving biodiversity literature, as well text mining published literature (Fig. 1). These capabilities lead to creation interoperable, computable, reusable data with provenance linking facts publications. OBKMS result a joint...
The Swiss NGO Plazi (http://plazi.org) has developed an automated workflow for liberating data, including images and text, from new taxonomic publications issued in PDF format. This stepwise process extracts, article metadata, illustrations their captions, bibliographic references, scientific names, named geographic entities such as coordinates country collection codes, finally, treatments. These extracted data are enhanced published TreatmentBank deposited Biodiversity Literature Repository...
Scholarly publications in taxonomy are used as the sole carrier of communication channel to publicize description new species, more generally any kind taxon, their augmentations form re-descriptions small notes such additional observation records, or deprecations when name a taxon is changing. This communicated highly standardized way. For nomenclatural issues, Codes (e.g. International Code Zoological Nomenclature) require certain elements, and for comparative reasons, formalized language,...
The objective of Workpackage 4 the European Marine Observation and Data network (EMODnet) is to fill spatial temporal gaps in marine species occurrence data availability by carrying out archaeology rescue activities. To this end, a workshop was organised Hellenic Center for Research Crete (HCMR), Heraklion Crete, (8–9 June 2015) assess possible mechanisms guidelines mobilise legacy biodiversity data. Workshop participants were managers who actually implement activities, as well external...
We present OpenBiodiv - an implementation of the Open Biodiversity Knowledge Management System. The need for integrated information system serving needs biodiversity community can be dated at least as far back sanctioning Bouchout declaration in 2007. proposes to make knowledge freely available Linked Data (LOD)*1. At TDWG2016 Fig. 1) we presented prototype sytem then called Knolwedge Sysyttem (OBKMS). specification and design was outlined by Senderov Penev (2016) this talk would like...
As part of the CETAF COVID19 task force, Plazi liberated taxonomic treatments, figures, observation records, biotic interactions, names, and collection specimen codes involving bats viruses from scholarly publications with intention to create open access, findable, accessible, interoperable reusable data (FAIR). The is accessible via TreatmentBank Biodiversity Literature Repository (BLR) it continually harvested reused by Global Information Facility (GBIF) Biotic Interactions (GloBI). This...
