Editor's Notes
- 3-5 years to become We estimate that it will take about ten years to prepare the basic information on the currently known species, to digitize the literature in the BHL member libraries, and to set up a robust process whereby new species are incorporated as they are described. However, EOL will never be complete. We will always be discovering new things about species, and EOL will incorporate that new information. All content provided through EOL is either in the public domain or is served under a Creative Commons License
- Search by names, tag or full text
- Digitizing literature Focus on a region, or a group of organisms, or a set of journals or books Cost is approximately 10¢ per page Current status 11 million pages digitized. x journal or serials titles permissions obtained. Provisional agreements with BioOne and others for rehosting. Internet Archive Scanning Centers in many locations. Future Plans Pilot project: YouTube-style repository for articles vetted and entered by the taxonomic community Improved text extraction and data mining
- Appropriate for 9-12, possibly middle school. For younger students you might want to collect the best images and have an adult upload them
