Description
We organize this workshop to bring together researches who use Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL), librarians who supply content and meta-data to BHL, and developers of BHL infrastructure.
Main topics of the workshop:
- Demonstrate name-finding algorithms for creating name index for BHL.
- Develop and try ways for fast mobilization of BHL data and metadata.
- Discuss improvements for future versions of BHL, creating a wish list.
- Figure out opportunities for the future development of BHL and Global Names tools for enrichment of BHL meta-data
