Points of discussion @ TDWG09… Linked Literature and the Biodiversity Heritage Library http://www.tdwg.org/proceedings/article/view/548

Who can upload & edit? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Discussion: Session participants thought it important that BHL get as many citations as possible, then find ways of implementing trust mechanisms for users such as iSpot (Drupal module), ratings systems, ways of tagging inappropriate materials.

What about duplicates? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Discussion: Important to have all the ways in which materials have been referred to over time, then have algorithms & people aggregate titles/articles (translations) into reconciliation groups, resulting in a master index.

Accuracy ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Discussion: Let users decide which is the “right” form for use; may differ from project to project. BHL should take it all in, then refine using our libraries’ collected knowledge + involvement from domain specialists.

Right technologies? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Discussion: Drupal has limitations, but a large community of developers & implementers. There may be a “Montpellier Declaration” to centralize efforts within biodiversity informatics around the framework. Drupal/Biblio is a good starting point for CiteBank, needs further evaluation after more data are loaded & site is used.
