Lecture provided at the 8th International Congress of Hymenopterists, Cuzco, Peru, July 23, 2014.
The lectures makes a case to join the bibligraphies and pdf of hymenoptera taxonomy literature on the Biodiersity Literature Repository / Zenodo
9. Treatment
Treatment
publications or (more frequently) sections of
publications documenting the features or distribution
of a related group of organisms (called a “taxon”,
plural “taxa”) in ways adhering to highly formalized
conventions. Some of these are over a century old.
[Catapano, 2011]
21. All content in Plazi (34,000 treatments)
14,590 specimens
8900 plottable specimens from
1138 unique locations
22. 200,000,000+ printed pages
1,900,000 species described
20,000,000+ species treatments
17,000 new species per year
BUT: The data are hidden
Incomplete digitization
Publications are not
semantically enhanced
Collections are incomplete
Data is not linked
Most data are not open

26. Solution for the future
Publish semantically enhanced:
Journal of Hymenoptera Research
30. Solution
Support reliable and permanent open access to digital biodiversity
records
Create identifiers, link provide direct access to digital objects of
biodiversity literature, specimens, multimedia, genes, etc.
Ensure global interoperability and sharing of biodiversity data,
information and knowledge
Ongoing dialogue to refine the concept and implementation
As signatories, we encourage an overarching approach to Open Biodiversity
Knowledge Management which is based on the following fundamental
principles:

40. Solution
ZENODO @CERN
ZENODO builds and operate a simple and innovative service that
enables researchers, scientists, EU projects and institutions to
share and showcase multidisciplinary research results (data and
publications) that are not part of the existing institutional or
subject-based repositories of the research communities.
Zenodo is the digital repository of CERN
Zenodo agreed to host and support the Biodiversity Literature
Repository
43. Solution
Services or what you get:
Wide access
Refindit
Refbank
Legal Issues
Archiving
Distribution of publications resolved
Your legacy literature is for everybody directly from
your publications accesible
44. Solution
Why don’t we assure that all the legacy taxonomic
literature is in the
Biodiversity Literature Repository?
45. The future
Why not assure that all the legacy taxonomic
literature is in the Biodiversity Literature
Repository?
Why not make our community the first that can
publish in its journal with all publications linked
to a digital copy?
46. The future
Why not assure that all the legacy taxonomic
literature is in the Biodiversity Literature
Repository?
Why not make our community the first that can
