- Abstract:
The Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL) is an international consortium of natural history libraries that are actively scanning scientific literature from their collections and publishing the digitized content online at http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org. The presentation will cover updates on BHL progress thus far, including a review of the BHL portal application and services developed for bibliographic data exchange, as well as a roadmap of features scheduled for design and development. Of interest to taxonomists and bioinformaticians, the presentation will also cover a recently completed evaluation of taxonomic name finding algorithms, including TaxonFinder and FAT. Discussion will include a review of successes and failures in extracting taxonomic name strings from the BHL corpus, as well as suggestions for improvement.
