A brief history
The Biodiversity Heritage Library www.biodiversitylibrary.org
The Biodiversity Heritage Library
Genesis: BHL Article Repository Idea first introduced at TDWG 2008, Fremantle (by BHL, many have discussed for years) YouTube for biodiversity articles Safe harbor for sharing People clapped, lots of nodding Needed (need) a way to access articles in BHL BHL has no articles. Nope, we have hundreds of thousands just can t search for them via author, article title search Can find via article coordinates using BHL sui & OpenURLresolver: Journal / Volume / Start Page / Year
CiteBank Objectives Create a repository for community-vetted taxonomic bibliographies. Ability to ingest, display, download, and index articles so that the BHL can operate as an article repository. Provide links to content published online through other repositories. Launched on December 6 th 2010
Citations today: http://citebank.org
Citations Providers
Specimen Databases Open Access Digital Libraries Software Tools Nomenclators Commercial Aggregators Open Access Publishers International Collaborative Projects Indices
Lessons Learned Biblio/Drupal data model insufficient for mass of data envisioned for all biodiversity, too flat and difficult to expand in collaboration with Bibliodevelopment community Data providers want their content findable and managed in the Biodiversity Heritage Library, not a system alongside BHL Maintaining two platforms for biodiversity literature threatens sustainability of the literature resources over the longer term

Where are we? Articles Extend BHL data model to store article metadata Build process to harvest data from BioStor Create user interfaces for adding article metadata and associated files Define functional requirements as improvements to Drupal-based Citebank Define process flow for adding article metadata and associated files Implement UI changes Change BHL UI to accommodate article search Change BHL UI to accommodate article display (TOC)
