Semantic enhancements to published texts

So, we have already that... of 5 But need to this......

Persistent Identifiers Open Journal System Submission Acceptance Revision Peer Review Publication DoI Distributed Metadata Catalogues Metadata Authors GBIF Metadata Repository Biodiversity Data Journal The GBIF perspective Registry GBRDS

What we will do in ViBRANT
Establish an automated publication workflow (“ push-button submission ”) of taxon descriptions from Scratchpads to ZooKeys and PhytoKeys ;
Establish a similar automated publication workflow of data paper manuscripts from GBIF
Develop and implement a platform for online open peer review and editorial process
Implement the workflows through the a newly established, open-access , next-generation journal - Biodiversity Data Journal
Review and implement various semantic Web enhancements to taxonomic papers (e. g., data publication, cross-linking, data integration between papers, facilitated automated discovery, indexing and aggregation, online mapping, and others).
Develope tools for automated dissemination of the published information automatically to biodiversity indexers and aggregators (EOL, FBIF, Plazi, ZooBank, IPNI, and many others)
Work with other publishers (especially society and museum journals) to promote and implement innovative publishing methods and tools
Last but not least, explore and implement the Wiki environment as publishing and dissemination tool

Interdependencies with other WPs and partners
Testing and development of a published version of the TaxPub XML Schema – the basis for the XML-based publication workflow; ensure compliance of TaxPub with Scratchpads and GBIF inputs and with dissemination outputs; ensure compliance with TaxonX and TaXMLit to provide standard outputs for end users (e.g., taxon treatments) (YEAR 1st) (NHM, GBIF, OU, KIT, JKI, WP4, WP8, ext.: Plazi)
Creating and implementing tools to provide a complete XML-based workflow , from submission, through online open peer review and editorial process, to publishing and automated dissemination (YEAR 2nd) (NHM, GBIF, KIT, OU; ext.: EOL, Plazi, Zoobank, Zoological Record, IPNI, Mycobank, Wikispecies, Wikimedia Commons, etc.)
Application of the workflow in the Biodiversity Data Journal and make it compliant to other journals (YEAR 3rd) (NHM, GBIF, WP5 (API design), WP8, etc.)
Promotion and outreach of what we do (WP3)

Who are our users & how will they engage?
Taxonomists as authors of mansucripts submitted via the Scratchpads , GBIF or other networks
Ecologists, conservationists, decision makers, all interested readers and end users of the published information
Bibliographic databases and archives (BHL, PubMedCentral and other)
Content management platform for indexing and aggregating biodiversity information (GBIF, EOL, Plazi, Wiki-environment, etc.)
Electronic registers of nomenclatural acts (IPNI, Mycobank, ZooBank)
End users of unforeseen range and scope – conservationosts, ecologists, NGOs, policy makers, governmental organisations)
Small-scale taxonomy publishers (e.g., society or museum journals)
