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. http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/npre.2009.3372.1 Fri, 26 Jun 2009 15:25:21 UTC An evaluation of taxonomic name finding & next steps in Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL) developments doi:10.1038/npre.2009.3372.1 2009-06-26 Chris Freeland Nature Precedings 2009-06-26T15:25:21Z Presentation Bioinformatics Earth & Environment http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
