This document discusses the Biodiversity Heritage Library's (BHL) efforts to create a citation repository that would allow users to search and access articles from the BHL. It provides a brief history of related projects like CiteBank. It describes the current capabilities and limitations of accessing citations and full text articles through the BHL. It outlines the next steps needed to fully integrate citations and articles into the BHL by expanding the data model, developing interfaces for adding metadata, and changing how citations and articles are displayed. The goal is to support the Global Names Architecture by facilitating access to taxonomic literature.

The Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL) has now achieved a critical mass of digitized historic texts – over 41 million pages and counting. The BHL portal can be searched by several access points including title, author, subject, and scientific name. But, what is largely hidden and entirely unsearchable are the millions of natural history illustrations found with the BHL books and journals. These visual resources which include drawings, paintings, photographs, maps and diagrams represent work by some of the finest botanical and zoological illustrators in the world, including the likes of John James Audubon, Georg Dionysus Ehret, and Pierre Redouté. Many of the illustrations are the first recorded descriptions of much of the world’s biota, providing the scientific foundation for contemporary taxonomic research and conservation assessments. Some of them are the only verifiable resource about an organism and their existence on Earth due to changes in global climate patterns and rapid loss of natural habitat for many species. Audiences for these illustrations also cross a variety of disciplines and include: biologists, artists, historians, illustrators, graphic designers, archivists, educators, students, and citizen scientists.
In 2012, the Missouri Botanical Garden was awarded a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities to support a project called The Art of Life: Data Mining and Crowdsourcing the Identification and Description of Natural History Illustrations from the Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL). This talk will discuss the Art of Life objectives and current status. It will go into detail about the algorithms and schema designed for finding which pages contain illustrations and describing the subsequent output. Finally the talk will discuss the project’s benefits for the scientific community such as improving access to a significant collection of public domain images related to biodiversity.

This presentation was given by Doug Holland and Trish Rose-Sandler at the Missouri Libraries Association conference held in St Louis MO in Oct 2013. There is a significant online literature and image repository called the Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL). Content from this repository has inspired a range of users to re-contextualize the BHL data in new, previously unimagined roles including: scientists creating visualizations of species names publishing; citizen scientists blogging about fascinating creatures; designers incorporating marine life into wedding invitations, artists creating collages of animal illustrations and nature photography ; and home decorators adding punch and wit to the walls of their kids bedrooms. Using the example of BHL and its open data principles, the presentation will discuss what open data is and how libraries can expand the impact and reach of their collections through open data methods.

This session examines how publishers and vendors collaborate to make a more seamless knowledgebase experience for librarians. Representatives from Wiley and OCLC will discuss KBART file creation, representation, and more. A representative from OhioLINK will explain how the state of the knowledgebase affects workflows at the consortium and library levels.
This presentation was provided by Marshall Breeding, Independent Consultant and Founder of Library Technology Guides; Co-Chair, ODI Working Group, at the
2012 NISO Standards Update at ALA.
Libraries are rapidly changing and expanding to web-based delivery of content and related access services to cater the information needs and expectations of their modern users.
One approach is to design and develop multi tired architectures that include an integration layer providing programme level services for user level applications such as a portal.
The library portal is a tool to organize information resources and services in a way that supports the users’ needs.
LIS professionals should be aware about portal technology, its applications in academics and usability of the portal which is based on effective content management system.

This talk focused on two projects being carried out by the Missouri Botanical Garden related to the Biodiversity Heritage Library - Art of Life and Engelmann Correspondence. The Art of Life, funded by NEH, is a project to identify and describe the rich natural history illustrations hidden within the pages of BHL literature. The Engelmann Correspondence project, funded by IMLS, is a project to digitize and make available in BHL letters sent to 19th century botanist, George Engelmann by his colleagues in the US and Europe. Both projects are providing new content types to the BHL portal http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/, helping contextualize its published literature, and expanding BHL audiences.

Reach Out! Opportunities for the Visual Resource CenterTrish Rose-Sandler
The Art of Life Project and Biodiversity Heritage Library were featured in this session on Visual Resource Centers and how institutions are reaching new audiences for their content through collaboration and outreach
In spring of 2012 the National Endowment for the Humanities funded the Missouri Botanical Garden to embark on an ambitious project called The Art of Life. The project’s goals are to identify and describe natural history illustrations from the digitized books and journals in the online Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL).
The BHL is a consortium of natural history and botanical libraries that cooperate to digitize and make accessible legacy literature held in their collections. The BHL portal now provides access to more than 110,000 volumes and 40 million pages of texts. Contained within these texts, but not easily accessible due to a lack of descriptive metadata, are millions of visual resources (plates , figures, maps, and photographs), many of which were produced by the finest botanical and zoological illustrators in the world, including the likes of John James Audubon, Georg Dionysus Ehret, and Pierre Redouté. Scholars and educators who rely heavily on visual resources in their research and teaching (e.g. biologists, art historians, curators, historians of science) will, for the first time, be able to find and view a wealth of illustrations of plant and animal life from which to make connections between science, art, culture, and history.
Nearly one year into the project, this presentation will discuss our objectives, progress, tools and technologies being utilized, and explain how the final deliverables will benefit all libraries.
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

5. Genesis: “BHL Article Repository”
• Idea first introduced at TDWG 2008, Fremantle
(by BHL, many have discussed for years)
• YouTube for biodiversity articles
• Needed (need) a way to access articles in BHL
– “BHL has no articles.”
– BHL has hundreds of thousands of articles but you
can’t search for them via author, article title search
– Can find via “article coordinates” using BHL’s UI &
OpenURL resolver: Journal / Volume / Start Page / Year
6. 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 6th 2010
9. Software Tools
Specimen Open Access
Databases Digital Libraries
Nomenclators
Commercial
Aggregators
Open Access
Publishers

International Collaborative Projects
10. Lessons Learned
• Biblio/Drupal data model insufficient for mass of data
envisioned for all biodiversity, too flat and difficult to
expand in collaboration with Biblio development
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

Editor's Notes
The data model and user interface for the Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL) portal at http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/ was originally designed to accommodate books and journals found in botanical garden libraries and natural history museums. As the size and reputation of the BHL grew, there were many publishers and individuals who wanted to contribute to the BHL but their content consisted of publication types at more granular levels, such as articles, book chapters, and dissertations. In order to ingest and serve these materials, in early 2011, BHL launched a separate portal called Citebank hosted at citebank.org. Currently, Citebank contains over 180,000 citations linked to content files, either hosted at citebank.org or hosted externally. While feedback on Citebank has been positive, users indicated a desire to combine both the services of the BHL portal and the services of the Citebank portal into a single interface in order to enable a unified search for all biodiversity literature. To respond to these needs, the BHL has begun expansion of its data model in the BHL portal to accommodate articles, book chapters, treatments and other segment-like material so that they can be searched alongside its traditional book and journal content. Parallel to this activity the NSF-funded Global Names Architecture (GNA) Project has enlisted Citebank to fulfill the role of a global biodiversity repository for bibliographic citations. In support of this, Citebank will provide a key functional component to the GNA - that of reconciliation services for citations. Once reconciled, citations can be linked either to scanned page images in the BHL, or to PDFs uploaded by users. If neither exists, citations can point to other digital representations online. Experience with Citebank has resulted in many lessons learned about working with diverse publication types; data formats; and contributors with varying levels of technical competencies. Those lessons were incorporated into a functional requirements document that is being used to inform development of the BHL data model. This talk will outline the functional requirements needed for a global citation repository for biodiversity and how those requirements will better serve the needs of the biodiversity community.
