New Partners and Geographies
Dear Sir / Madam Can i just
congratulate you on an
absolutely brilliant online
resource. I am compiling a
report on an invasive
hydromedusae and could not
believe the ease and efficiency
of this web page which
genuinely saved me weeks of
my life
Research that previously
took months now takes
only a few hours
La plus grande
#bibliotheque #botanique &
#zoologique online The
largest online botanical &
zoological #library #BHL
The freeing of knowledge
may lead to new
discoveries and changes
in the way the natural
world is perceived

For me a future Flora/Fauna/Mycota should…
learn from (the errors of) the past...
I may want to find new things later…

Scientific Name Extraction
• TaxonFinder algorithm in production since
2008
– More than 100 million candidate name strings
– More than 1.5 million unique, verified names
– Available through UI, APIs, Data Exports & Internet
Archive
• New collaboration with Global Names
– Improved algorithm, better precision & recall
– More data with TaxonFinder and Neti Neti!
For me a future Flora/Fauna/Mycota should…
allow me to provide and harvest
marked up content with names
of people & organizations, places, taxa,
specimens, illustrations, coordinates,
citations, tables of context and indexes.

  1. For the meeting on Wednesday on legacy literature, we would like to ask you to give a brief (5-10min) outline of what your plans are with BHL, and especially your move into content. This would be helpful for a more informed following discussion.
  2. ExtensiveAiming for a critical mass of biodiversity literatureGlobalOriginating in the US and UK, BHL now has nodes in Europe, China, Australia, Brazil, Egypt, and AfricaOpen Data is freely available for viewing, downloading, and re-use
  3. On legacy literature, what your plans are with BHL, and especially your move into content?
  4. Mention Neti Neti
  5. You can see from this slide that accuracy goes way down when processing older blackletter-type typefaces.

  7. Natural history illustrations from the Biodiversity Heritage Library seem to leap across boundaries while being catalogued, emerging simultaneously as history, science and art. As historic documents, they paint a vibrant picture of the first time European scientists and explorers encountered exotic plants and animals in the 17th and 18th centuries, drawn by some of the finest illustrators of the world.   Also, as biodiversity records, they provide valuable documentation of when, where, and who first observed a species, and some of them are our only surviving representations of extinct species.  Finally, as aesthetic elements, they communicate human emotions and other values toward nature by exemplifying the mimesis in art and providing a vivid expression of human creativity and imagination.This year, the Missouri Botanical Garden received a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) to support a project called The Art of Life: Data Mining and Crowdsourcing the Identification and Description of Natural History Illustrations from the Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL).
  8. The authors have worked on the development of an effective metadata schema for such natural history illustrations, but instead of developing yet another schema from scratch, they have identified existing schemas that meet the needs of the project and integrated a solution that combines the best in biodiversity informatics and image curation standards and best practices. This schema needs to support three main objectives:  (1) to enable the discovery, description and use of the identified images by artists, biologists, humanities scholars, and educators;  (2) to make BHL’s metadata and images available to other platforms; and  (3) to import crowdsourced metadata generated in other platforms back into BHL..A preliminary schema version will be presented to the TDWG community, explaining how we addressed metadata challenges specific to biodiversity data, in order to obtain feedback on the final version.
