-        which seems well-intentioned but limited.</p>\n<h2 id=\"xml\">XML</h2>\n<p>One
-        approach is to have highly structured text that embeds detailed markup, and
-        ideally a tool that generates markup in XML. This is the approach taken by
-        Pensoft. There is an inevitable trade-off between the burden on authors of
-        marking up text versus making the paper machine readable. In some ways this
-        seems misplaced effort given that there is little evidence that publications
-        by themselves have much value (see <a href=\"https://iphylo.blogspot.com/2021/12/the-business-of-extracting-knowledge.html\">The
-        Business of Extracting Knowledge from Academic Publications</a>). “Value”
-        in this case means as a source of data or factual statements that we can compute
-        over. Human-readable text is not a good way to convey this sort of information.</p>\n<p>It’s
-        also interesting that many editing tools are going in the opposite direction,
-        for example there are minimalist tools using <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdown\">Markdown</a>
-        where the goal is to <em>get out of the author’s way</em>, rather than impose
-        a way of writing. Text is written by humans for humans, so the tools should
-        be human-friendly.</p>\n<p>The idea of publishing using XML is attractive
-        in that it gives you XML that can be archived by, say, PubMed Central, but
-        other than that the value seems limited. A cursory glance at download stats
-        for journals that provide PDF and XML downloads, such as <em>PLoS One</em>
-        and <em>ZooKeys</em>, PDF is by far the more popular format. So arguably there
-        is little value in providing XML. Those who have tried to use JATS-XML as
-        an authoring tool have not had a happy time: <a href=\"https://doi.org/10.7557/15.5517\">How
-        we tried to JATS XML</a>. However, there are various tools to help with the
-        process, such as <a href=\"https://github.com/Vitaliy-1/docxToJats\">docxToJats</a>,<br>\ntexture,
-        and <a href=\"https://github.com/elifesciences/jats-xml-to-pdf\">jats-xml-to-pdf</a>
-        if this is the route one wants to take.</p>\n<h2 id=\"automating-writing-manuscripts\">Automating
-        writing manuscripts</h2>\n<p>The dream, of course, is to have a tool where
-        you store all your taxonomic data (literature, specimens, characters, images,
-        sequences, media files, etc.) and at the click of a button generate a paper.
-        Certainly some of this can be automated, much nomenclatural and specimen information
-        could be converted to human-readable text. Ideally this computer-generated
-        text would not be edited (otherwise it could get out of sync with the underlying
-        data). The text should be <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transclusion\">transcluded</a>.
-        As an aside, one way to do this would be to include things such as lists of
-        material examined as images rather than text while the manuscript is being
-        edited. In the same way that you (probably) wouldn’t edit a photograph within
-        your text editor, you shouldn’t be editing data. When the manuscript is published
-        the data-generated portions can then be output as text.</p>\n<p>Of course
-        all of this assumes that we have taxonomic data in a database (or some other
-        storage format, including plain text and Mark-down, e.g. <a href=\"https://iphylo.blogspot.com/2022/04/obsidian-markdown-and-taxonomic-trees.html\">Obsidian,
-        markdown, and taxonomic trees</a>) that can generate outputs in the various
-        formats that we need.</p>\n<h2 id=\"archiving-data-and-images\">Archiving
-        data and images</h2>\n<p>One of the really nice things that <a href=\"http://plazi.org\">Plazi</a>
-        do is have a pipeline that sends taxonomic descriptions and images to Zenodo,
-        and similar data to GBIF. Any taxonomic journal should be able to do this.
-        Indeed, arguably each taxonomic treatment within the paper should be linked
-        to the Zenodo DOI at the time of publication. Indeed, we could imagine ultimately
-        having treatments as transclusions within the larger manuscript. Alternatively
-        we could store the treatments as parts of the larger article (rather like
-        chapters in a book), each with a CrossRef DOI. I’m still sceptical about whether
-        these treatments are as important as we make out, see <a href=\"https://iphylo.blogspot.com/2022/09/does-anyone-cite-taxonomic-treatments.html\">Does
-        anyone cite taxonomic treatments?</a>. But having machine-readable taxonomic
-        data archived and accessible is a good thing. Uploading the same data to GBIF
-        makes much of that data immediately accessible. Now that GBIF offers <a href=\"https://www.gbif.org/composition/3kQFinjwHbCGZeLb5OhwN2/gbif-hosted-portals\">hosted
-        portals</a> there is the possibility of having custom interfaces to data from
-        a particular journal.</p>\n<h2 id=\"name-and-identifier-registration\">Name
-        and identifier registration</h2>\n<p>We would also want automatic registration
-        of new taxonomic names, for which there are pipelines (see “A common registration-to-publication
-        automated pipeline for nomenclatural acts for higher plants (International
-        Plant Names Index, IPNI), fungi (Index Fungorum, MycoBank) and animals (ZooBank)”
-        <a href=\"https://doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.550.9551\">https://doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.550.9551</a>).
-        These pipelines do not seem to be documented in much detail, and the data
-        formats differ across registration agencies (e.g., IPNI and ZooBank). For
-        example, ZooBank seems to require TaxPub XML.</p>\n<p>Registration of names
-        and identifiers, especially across multiple registration agencies (ZooBank,
-        CrossRef, DataCite, etc.) requires some coordination, especially when one
-        registration agency requires identifiers from another.</p>\n<h2 id=\"summary\">Summary</h2>\n<p>If
-        data is key, then the taxonomic paper itself becomes something of a wrapper
-        around that data. It still serves the function of being human-readable, providing
-        broader context for the work, and as an archive that conforms to currently
-        accepted ways to publish taxonomic names. But in some ways it is the last
-        interesting part of the process.</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Written with <a href=\"https://stackedit.io/\">StackEdit</a>.</p>\n</blockquote>","tags":[],"language":"en","references":null},{"id":"https://doi.org/10.59350/37y2z-gre70","uuid":"f3629c86-06e0-42c0-844a-266b03a91ef1","url":"https://iphylo.blogspot.com/2023/05/ten-years-and-million-links.html","title":"Ten

-        major gap in the biodiversity knowledge graph is a connection between taxonomic

-        have persistent identifiers (PIDs), such as Life Science Identifiers (LSIDs)
-        or Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs), LSIDs for names are rarely linked to
-        DOIs for publications. This article describes efforts to make those connections
-        across three large taxonomic databases: Index Fungorum, International Plant
-        Names Index (IPNI), and the Index of Organism Names (ION). Over a million
-        names have been matched to DOIs or other persistent identifiers for taxonomic
-        publications. This represents approximately 36% of names for which publication
-        data is available. The mappings between LSIDs and publication PIDs are made
-        available through ChecklistBank. Applications of this mapping are discussed,

-        what we''ve done. But global identifiers can also be a pain, especially if
-        we need to use a service to look them up (\"is there a DOI for this paper?\",
-        \"what is the LSID for this taxonomic name?\").</p>\n\n<p>Life would be easier
-        if we could generate identifiers \"locally\", but had some assurance that
-        they would be globally unique, and that anyone else generating an identifier
-        for the same thing would arrive at the same identifier (this eliminates things
-        such as <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier\">UUIDs</a>
-        which are intentionally designed to prvent people genrrating the same identifier).
-        One approach is \"content addressing\" (see, e.g. <a href=\"https://web.archive.org/web/20210514054054/https://bentrask.com/notes/content-addressing.html\">Principles
-        of Content Addressing</a> - dead link but in the Wayabck Machine, see also
-        <a href=\"https://github.com/btrask/stronglink\">btrask/stronglink</a>). For
-        example, we can generate a cryptographic hash of a file (such as a PDF) and
-        use that as the identifier.</p>\n\n<p>Now the problem is that we have globally
-        unique, but ugly and unfriendly identifiers (such as \"6c98136eba9084ea9a5fc0b7693fed8648014505\").
-        What we need are nice, easy to use identifiers we can use as page names. <a
-        href=\"https://species.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page\">Wikispecies</a> serves
-        as a possible role model, where taxon names serve as page names, as do simplified
-        citations (e.g., authors and years). This model runs into the problem that
-        taxon names aren''t unique, nor are author + year combinations. In Wikispecies
-        this is resolved by having a centralised database where it''s first come,
-        first served. If there is a name clash you have to create a new name for your
-        page. This works, but what if you have multiple databases un by different
-        people? How do we ensure the identifiers are the same?</p>\n\n<p>Then I remembered
-        Roger Hyam''s flight of fantasy over a decade ago: <a href=\"http://www.hyam.net/blog/archives/1007\">SpeciesIndex.org
-        – an impractical, practical solution</a>. He proposed the following rules
-        to generate a unique URI for a taxonomic name:\n\n<ul>\n  <li>The URI must
-        start with \"http://speciesindex.org\" followed by one or more of the following
-        separated by slashes.</li>\n\n  <li>First word of name. Must only contain
-        letters. Must not be the same as one of the names of the nomenclatural codes
-        (icbn or iczn). Optional but highly recommended.</li> \n\n  <li>Second word
-        of name. Must only contain letters and not be a nomenclatural code name. Optional.</li>
-        \n\n  <li>Third word of name. Must only contain letters and not be a nomenclatural
-        code name. Optional.</li> \n\n  <li>Year of publication. Must be an integer
-        greater than 1650 and equal to or less than the current year. If this is an
-        ICZN name then this should be the year the species (epithet) was published
-        as is commonly cited after the name. If this is an ICBN name at species or
-        below then it is the date of the combination. Optional. Recommended for zoological
-        names if known. Not recommended for botanical names unless there is a known
-        problem with homonyms in use by non-taxonomists.</li>\n  \n<li>Nomenclatural
-        code governing the name of the taxon. Currently this must be either ''icbn''
-        or ''iczn''. This may be omitted if the code is unknown or not relevant. Other
-        codes may be added to this list.</li> \n  <li>Qualifier This must be a Version
-        4 RFC-4122 UUID. Optional. Used to generate a new independent identifier for
-        a taxon for which the conventional name is unknown or does not exist or to
-        indicate a particular taxon concept that bears the embedded name.</li>\n\n  <li>The
-        whole speciesindex.org URI string should be considered case\nsensitive. Everything
-        should be lower case apart from the first letter of words that are specified
-        as having upper case in their relevant codes e.g. names at and above the rank
-        of genus.</li>\n</ul>\n</p>\n\n<p>Roger is basically arging that while names
-        aren''t unique (i.e., we have homonyms such as <i>Abronia</i>) they are pretty
-        close to being so, and with a few tweaks we can come up with a unique representation.
-        Another way to think about this if we had a database of all taxonomics, we
-        could construct a <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trie\">trie</a>
-        and for each name find the shortest set of name parts (genus, species, etc),
-        year, and code that gave us a unique string for that name. In many cases the
-        species name may be all we need, in other cases we may need to add year and/or
-        nomenclatural code to arrive at a unique string. \n\n</p>\n\n<p>What about
-        bibliographic references? Well many of us will have databases (e.g., Endnote,
-        Mendeley, Zotero, etc.) which generate \"cite keys\". These are typically
-        short, memorable identifiers for a reference that are unique within that database.
-        There is an interesting discussion on the <a href=\"https://discourse.jabref.org/t/universal-citekey-generator/2441/2\">JabRef
-        forum</a> regarding a \"Universal Citekey Generator\", and source code is
-        available <a href=\"https://github.com/cparnot/universal-citekey-js\">cparnot/universal-citekey-js</a>.
-        I''ve yet to explore this in detail, but it looks a promising way to generate
-        unique identifiers from basic metadata (echos of more elaborate schemes such
-        as <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_Item_and_Contribution_Identifier\">SICIs</a>).
-        For example,\n\n<blockquote>Senna AR, Guedes UN, Andrade LF, Pereira-Filho
-        GH. 2021. A new species of amphipod Pariphinotus Kunkel, 1910 (Amphipoda:
-        Phliantidae) from Southwestern Atlantic. Zool Stud 60:57. doi:10.6620/ZS.2021.60-57.</blockquote>\n\nbecomes
-        \"Senna:2021ck\". So if two people have the same, core, metadata for a paper
-        they can generate the same key.</p>\n\n<p>Hence it seems with a few conventions
-        (and maybe some simple tools to support them) we could have decentralised
-        wiki-like tools that used the same identifiers for the same things, and yet
-        those identfiiers were short and human-friendly.</p>","tags":["citekey","identfiiers","markdown","obsidian","Roger

-        the diagram above I''ve tried to capture the different situatios I encounter.
-        Much of the work I''ve done on this has focussed on case 1 in the diagram:
-        I want to link a taxonomic name to an identifier for the work in which that
-        name was published. In practise this means linking names to DOIs. This has
-        the advantage of linking to a citable indentifier, raising questions such
-        as whether citations of taxonmic papers by taxonomic databases could become
-        part of a <a href=\"https://iphylo.blogspot.com/2022/08/papers-citing-data-that-cite-papers.html\">taxonomist''s
-        Google Scholar profile</a>.</p>\n\n<p>In many taxonomic databases full work-level
-        citations are not the norm, instead taxonomists cite one or more pages within
-        a work that are relevant to a taxonomic name. These \"microcitations\" (what
-        the U.S. legal profession refer to as \"point citations\" or \"pincites\",  see
-        <a href=\"https://rasmussen.libanswers.com/faq/283203\">What are pincites,
-        pinpoints, or jump legal references?</a>) require some work to map to the
-        work itself (which is typically the thing that has a citatble identifier such
-        as a DOI).</p>\n\n<p>Microcitations (case 2 in the diagram above) can be quite
-        complex. Some might simply mention a single page, but others might list a
-        series of (not necessarily contiguous) pages, as well as figures, plates etc.
-        Converting these to citable identifiers can be tricky, especially as in most
-        cases we don''t have page-level identifiers. The Biodiversity Heritage Library
-        (BHL) does have URLs for each scanned page, and we have a standard for referring
-        to pages in a PDF (<code>page=&lt;pageNum&gt;</code>, see <a href=\"https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8118\">RFC
-        8118</a>). But how do we refer to a set of pages? Do we pick the first page?
-        Do we try and represent a set of pages, and if so, how?</p>\n\n<p>Another
-        issue with page-level identifiers is that not everything on a given page may
-        be relevant to the taxonomic name. In case 2 above I''ve shaded in the parts
-        of the pages and figure that refer to the taxonomic name. An example where
-        this can be problematic is the recent test case I created for BHL where a
-        page image was included for the taxonomic name <a href=\"https://www.gbif.org/species/195763322\"><i>Aphrophora
-        impressa</i></a>. The image includes the species description and a illustration,
-        as well as text that relates to other species.</p>\n\n<div class=\"separator\"

-        that not everything on a page need be relevant, we could extract just the
-        relevant blocks of text and illustrations (e.g., paragraphs of text, panels
-        within a figure, etc.) and treat that set of elements as the thing to cite.
-        This is, of course, what <a href=\"http://plazi.org\">Plazi</a> are doing.
-        The set of extracted blocks is glued together as a \"treatment\", assigned
-        an identifier (often a DOI), and treated as a citable unit. It would be interesting
-        to see to what extent these treatments are actually cited, for example, do
-        subsequent revisions that cite work that include treatments cite those treatments,
-        or just the work itself? Put another way, are we creating <a href=\"https://iphylo.blogspot.com/2012/09/decoding-nature-encode-ipad-app-omg-it.html\">\"threads\"</a>
-        between taxonomic revisions?</p>\n\n<p>One reason for these notes is that
-        I''m exploring uploading taxonomic name - literature links to <a href=\"https://www.checklistbank.org\">ChecklistBank</a>
-        and case 1 above is easy, as is case 3 (if we have treatment-level identifiers).
-        But case 2 is problematic because we are linking to a set of things that may
-        not have an identifier, which means a decision has to be made about which
-        page to link to, and how to refer to that page.</p>","tags":[],"language":"en","references":null},{"id":"https://doi.org/10.59350/w18j9-v7j10","uuid":"d811172e-7798-403c-a83d-3d5317a9657e","url":"https://iphylo.blogspot.com/2022/08/papers-citing-data-that-cite-papers.html","title":"Papers

-        campaign demonstrates. But the idea is well accepted and there are guides
-        to how to do it, e.g.:\n\n<blockquote>\nCousijn, H., Kenall, A., Ganley, E.

-        things do get problematic because most (but not all) DOIs for publications
-        are managed by CrossRef, which has an extensive citation database linking
-        papers to other paopers. Most datasets have DataCite DOIs, and DataCite manages
-        its own citations links, but as far as I''m aware these two systems don''t
-        really taklk to each other.\n\nCitation type (3) is the case where a database
-        is largely based on the literature, which applies to taxonomy. Taxonomic databases
-        are essentially collections of literature that have opinions on taxa, and
-        the database may simply compile those (e.g., a nomenclator), or come to some
-        view on the applicability of each name. In an ideal would, each reference
-        included in a taxonomic database would gain a citation, which would help better
-        reflect the value of that work (a long standing bone of contention for taxonomists).\n\nIt
-        would be interesting to explore these issues further. CrossRef and DataCite

-        (see also <a href=\"https://support.datacite.org/docs/eventdata-guide\">DataCite
-        Event Data</a>). Can this track citations of papers by a dataset?\n  \n  \nMy
-        take on Wayne''s question:\n\n<blockquote>\n  Is there a way to turn those
-        links into countable citations (even if just one per database) for Google

-        I don''t think we have a way to handle just yet (but I''d need to look at

-        reliance on it for metrics is troubling. But it would be interetsing to try
-        and figure out if there is a way to get Google Scholar to index the citations
-        of taxonomic papers by databases. For instance, the <a href=\"https://www.catalogueoflife.org/\">Catalogue

-        Graham GPT</a> by <a href=\"https://twitter.com/mckaywrigley\">Mckay Wrigley</a>.
-        Mckay Wrigley took essays by Paul Graham (a well known venture capitalist)
-        and built a question and answer tool very like ChatGPT.</p>\n<iframe width=\"560\"

-        you can send a block of text to ChatGPT (as part of the prompt) you can get
-        ChatGPT to summarise or transform that information, or answer questions based
-        on that information. But there is a limit to how much information you can
-        pack into a prompt. You can’t put all of Paul Graham’s essays into a prompt
-        for example. So a solution is to do some preprocessing. For example, given
-        a question such as “How do I start a startup?” we could first find the essays
-        that are most relevant to this question, then use them to create a prompt
-        for ChatGPT. A quick and dirty way to do this is simply do a text search over
-        the essays and take the top hits. But we aren’t searching for words, we are
-        searching for answers to a question. The essay with the best answer might
-        not include the phrase “How do I start a startup?”.</p>\n<h4 id=\"semantic-search\">Semantic
-        search</h4>\n<p>Enter <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_search\">Semantic
-        search</a>. The key concept behind semantic search is that we are looking
-        for documents with similar meaning, not just similarity of text. One approach
-        to this is to represent documents by “embeddings”, that is, a vector of numbers
-        that encapsulate features of the document. Documents with similar vectors
-        are potentially related. In semantic search we take the query (e.g., “How
-        do I start a startup?”), compute its embedding, then search among the documents
-        for those with similar embeddings.</p>\n<p>To create Paul Graham GPT Mckay
-        Wrigley did the following. First he sent each essay to the OpenAI API underlying
-        ChatGPT, and in return he got the embedding for that essay (a vector of 1536
-        numbers). Each embedding was stored in a database (Mckay uses Postgres with
-        <a href=\"https://github.com/pgvector/pgvector\">pgvector</a>). When a user
-        enters a query such as “How do I start a startup?” that query is also sent
-        to the OpenAI API to retrieve its embedding vector. Then we query the database
-        of embeddings for Paul Graham’s essays and take the top five hits. These hits
-        are, one hopes, the most likely to contain relevant answers. The original
-        question and the most similar essays are then bundled up and sent to ChatGPT
-        which then synthesises an answer. See his <a href=\"https://github.com/mckaywrigley/paul-graham-gpt\">GitHub
-        repo</a> for more details. Note that we are still using ChatGPT, but on a
-        set of documents it doesn’t already have.</p>\n<h4 id=\"knowledge-graphs\">Knowledge
-        graphs</h4>\n<p>I’m a fan of knowledge graphs, but they are not terribly easy
-        to use. For example, I built a knowledge graph of Australian animals <a href=\"https://ozymandias-demo.herokuapp.com\">Ozymandias</a>
-        that contains a wealth of information on taxa, publications, and people, wrapped
-        up in a web site. If you want to learn more you need to figure out how to
-        write queries in SPARQL, which is not fun. Maybe we could use ChatGPT to write
-        the SPARQL queries for us, but it would be much more fun to be simply ask
-        natural language queries (e.g., “who are the experts on Australian ants?”).
-        I made some naïve notes on these ideas <a href=\"https://iphylo.blogspot.com/2015/09/possible-project-natural-language.html\">Possible
-        project: natural language queries, or answering “how many species are there?”</a>
-        and <a href=\"https://iphylo.blogspot.com/2019/05/ozymandias-meets-wikipedia-with-notes.html\">Ozymandias
-        meets Wikipedia, with notes on natural language generation</a>.</p>\n<p>Of
-        course, this is a well known problem. Tools such as <a href=\"http://rdf2vec.org\">RDF2vec</a>
-        can take RDF from a knowledge graph and create embeddings which could in tern
-        be used to support semantic search. But it seems to me that we could simply
-        this process a bit by making use of ChatGPT.</p>\n<p>Firstly we would generate
-        natural language statements from the knowledge graph (e.g., “species x belongs
-        to genus y and was described in z”, “this paper on ants was authored by x”,
-        etc.) that cover the basic questions we expect people to ask. We then get
-        embeddings for these (e.g., using OpenAI). We then have an interface where
-        people can ask a question (“is species x a valid species?”, “who has published
-        on ants”, etc.), we get the embedding for that question, retrieve natural
-        language statements that the closest in embedding “space”, package everything
-        up and ask ChatGPT to summarise the answer.</p>\n<p>The trick, of course,
-        is to figure out how t generate natural language statements from the knowledge
-        graph (which amounts to deciding what paths to traverse in the knowledge graph,
-        and how to write those paths is something approximating English). We also
-        want to know something about the sorts of questions people are likely to ask
-        so that we have a reasonable chance of having the answers (for example, are
-        people going to ask about individual species, or questions about summary statistics
-        such as numbers of species in  a genus, etc.).</p>\n<p>What makes this attractive
-        is that it seems a straightforward way to go from a largely academic exercise
-        (build a knowledge graph) to something potentially useful (a question and
-        answer machine). Imagine if something like the defunct BBC wildlife site (see
-        <a href=\"https://iphylo.blogspot.com/2017/12/blue-planet-ii-bbc-and-semantic-web.html\">Blue
-        Planet II, the BBC, and the Semantic Web: a tale of lessons forgotten and
-        opportunities lost</a>) revived <a href=\"https://aspiring-look.glitch.me\">here</a>
-        had a question and answer interface where we could ask questions rather than

-        is in trouble, it''s legacy Java code a victim of security issues. Perhaps
-        this is a chance to rethink TreeBASE, assuming that a repository of published
-        phylogenies is still considered a worthwhile thing to have (and I think that
-        question is open).</p>\n\n<p>Here''s what I think could be done.</p>\n\n<ol>\n<li>\nThe
-        data (individual studies with trees and data) are packaged into whatever format
-        is easiest (NEXUS, XML, JSON) and uploaded to a repository such as <a href=\"https://zenodo.org\">Zenodo</a>
-        for long term storage. They get DOIs for citability. This becomes the default
-        storage for TreeBASE.\n</li>\n<li>\nThe data is transformed into JSON and
-        indexed using Elasticsearch. A simple web interface is placed on top so that
-        people can easily find trees (never a strong point of the original TreeBASE).
-        Trees are displayed natively on the web using SVG. The number one goal is
-        for people to be able to find trees, view them, and download them.\n</li>\n<li>\nTo
-        add data to TreeBASE the easiest way would be for people to upload them direct
-        to Zenodo and tag them \"treebase\". A bot then grabs a feed of these datasets
-        and adds them to the search engine in (1) above. As time allows, add an interface
-        where people upload data directly, it gets curated, then deposited in Zenodo.
-        This presupposes that there are people available to do curation. Maybe have
-        \"stars\" for the level of curation so that users know whether anyone has
-        checked the data.\n</li>\n</ol>\n\n<p>There''s lots of details to tweak, for
-        example how many of the existing URLs for studies are preserved (some URL
-        mapping), and what about the API? And I''m unclear about the relationship
-        with <a href=\"https://datadryad.org\">Dryad</a>.</p>\n\n<p>My sense is that
-        the TreeBASE code is very much of its time (10-15 years ago), a monolithic
-        block of code with SQL, Java, etc. If one was starting from scratch today
-        I don''t think this would be the obvious solution. Things have trended towards
-        being simpler, with lots of building blocks now available in the cloud. Need
-        a search engine? Just spin up a container in the cloud and you have one. More
-        and more functionality can be devolved elsewhere.</p>\n\n<p>Another other
-        issue is how to support TreeBASE. It has essentially been a volunteer effort
-        to date, with little or no funding. One reason I think having Zenodo as a
-        storage engine is that it takes care of long term sustainability of the data.</p>\n\n<p>I
-        realise that this is all wild arm waving, but maybe now is the time to reinvent
-        TreeBASE?</p>\n\n<h2>Updates</h2>\n\n<p>It''s been a while since I''ve paid
-        a lot of attention to phylogenetic databases, and it shows. There is a file-based
-        storage system for phylogenies <a href=\"https://github.com/OpenTreeOfLife/phylesystem-1\">phylesystem</a>
-        (see \"Phylesystem: a git-based data store for community-curated phylogenetic
-        estimates\" <a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1093/bioinformatics/btv276\">https://doi.org/10.1093/bioinformatics/btv276</a>)
-        that is sort of what I had in mind, although long term persistence is based
-        on GitHub rather than a repository such as Zenodo. Phylesystem uses a truly
-        horrible-looking JSON transformation of <a href=\"http://nexml.github.io\">NeXML</a>
-        (NeXML itself is ugly), and TreeBASE also supports NeXML, so some form of
-        NeXML or a JSON transformation seems the obvious storage format. It will probably
-        need some cleaning and simplification if it is to be indexed easily. Looking
-        back over the long history of TreeBASE and phylogenetic databases I''m struck
-        by how much complexity has been introduced over time. I think the tech has
-        gotten in the way sometimes (which might just be another way of saying that
-        I''m not smart enough to make sense of it all.</p>\n\n<p>So we could imagine
-        a search engine that covers both TreeBASE and <a href=\"https://tree.opentreeoflife.org/curator\">Open
-        Tree of Life studies</a>.</p>\n\n<p>Basic metadata-based searches would be
-        straightforward, and we could have a user interface that highlights the trees
-        (I think TreeBASE''s biggest search rival is a Google image search). The harder
-        problem is searching by tree structure, for which there is an interesting
-        literature without any decent implementations that I''m aware of (as I said,
-        I''ve been out of this field a while).</p>\n\n<p>So my instinct is we could
-        go a long way with simply indexing JSON (CouchDB or Elasticsearch), then need
-        to think a bit more cleverly about higher taxon and tree based searching.
-        I''ve always thought that one killer query would be not so much \"show me
-        all the trees for my taxon\" but \"show me a synthesis of the trees for my
-        taxon\". Imagine a supertree of recent studies that we could use as a summary
-        of our current knowledge, or a visualisation that summarises where there are
-        conflicts among the trees.</p>\n\n<h3>Relevant code and sites</h3>\n\n<ul>\n<li><a

-        doing. For example, after looking at SciGraph''s JSON-LD I now see how an
-        ordered list can be modelled in RDF in such a way that the list of authors
-        in a JSON-LD document for, say a scientific paper, is correct. By default
-        RDF has no notion of ordered lists, so if you do a SPARQL query to get the
-        authors of a paper, the order of the authors returned in the query will be
-        arbitrary. There are various ways to try and tackle this. In my Ozymandias
-        knowledge graph I used \"roles\" to represent order (see <a href=\"https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.6739/fig-2\">Figure
-        2</a> in the Ozymandias paper). I then used properties of the role to order
-        the list of authors.</p>\n\n<p>Another approach is to use rdf:lists (see <a
-        href=\"http://www.snee.com/bobdc.blog/2014/04/rdf-lists-and-sparql.html\">RDF
-        lists and SPARQL</a> and <a href=\"https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17523804/is-it-possible-to-get-the-position-of-an-element-in-an-rdf-collection-in-sparql/17530689#17530689\">Is
-        it possible to get the position of an element in an RDF Collection in SPARQL?</a>
-        for an introduction to lists). SciGraph uses this approach. The value for
-        schema:author is not an author, but a blank node (bnode), and this bnode has
-        two predicates, rdf:first and rdf:rest. One points to an author, the other
-        points to another bnode. This pattern repeats until we encounter a value of
-        rdf:nil for rdf:rest.</p>\n\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both;\"><a

-        introduces some complexity, but the benefit is that the JSON-LD version of

-        some means of ordering the client could not make this assumption, hence the

-        citations. This citation can refer to a previous treatment and add additional
-        data, or it can be a statement synonymizing the taxon with another taxon.

-        the treatment, instead of just providing the text string \"Patu jidanweishi

-        70A–F and 71A–F (♂♀).\" Isn''t the expectation under the treatment model that
-        we would have seen this relationship:</p>\n\n<p>[article]10.3897/zookeys.1072.67935

-        if it is the case that \"[i]n case the treatment does not describe a new discovered
-        taxon, previous treatments are cited in the form of treatment citations\"
-        then we should also see a citation between treatments, in other words Li et
-        al.''s 2021 treatment of <i>Patu jidanweishi</i> (which doesn''t seem to have
-        a DOI but is available on Plazi'' web site as <a href=\"https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/html/1CD9FEC313A35240938EC58ABB858E74\">https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/html/1CD9FEC313A35240938EC58ABB858E74</a>)
-        should also cite the original treatment? It doesn''t - but it does cite the
-        Miller et al. paper.</p>\n\n<p>So in this example we don''t see articles citing
-        treatments, nor do we see treatments citing treatments. Playing Devil''s advocate,
-        why then do we have treatments? Does''t the lack of citations suggest that
-        - despite some taxonomists saying this is the unit that matters - they actually
-        don''t. If we pay attention to what people do rather than what they say they
-        do, they cite articles.</p>\n\n<p>Now, there are all sorts of reasons why
-        we don''t see [article] -> [treatment] citations, or [treatment] -> [treatment]
-        citations. Treatments are being added after the fact by Plazi, not by the
-        authors of the original work. And in many cases the treatments that could
-        be cited haven''t appeared until after that potentially citing work was published.
-        In the example above the Miller et al. paper dates from 2009, but the treatment
-        extracted only went online in 2020. And while there is a long standing culture
-        of citing publications (ideally using DOIs) there isn''t an equivalent culture
-        of citing treatments (beyond the simple text strings).</p>\n\n<p>Obviously
-        this is but one example. I''d need to do some exploration of the citation
-        graph to get a better sense of citations patterns, perhaps using <a href=\"https://www.crossref.org/documentation/event-data/\">CrossRef''s
-        event data</a>. But my sense is that taxonomists don''t cite treatments.</p>\n\n<p>I''m
-        guessing Plazi would respond by saying treatments are cited, for example (indirectly)
-        in GBIF downloads. This is true, although arguably people aren''t citing the

-        <b>10.2307/2436688</b>). If I want to get metadata for this DOI, I should
-        be able to use CrossRef''s API to retrieve that metadata, e.g. <a href=\"https://api.crossref.org/v1/works/10.2307/2436688\">https://api.crossref.org/v1/works/10.2307/2436688</a>

-        display the same article on their web site with the DOI <b>10.1002/j.1537-2197.1940.tb14217.x</b>.
-        They have minted a new DOI for the same article! The original JSTOR DOI now
-        resolves to the Wiley page (you can see this using the <a href=\"https://hdl.handle.net\">Handle
-        Resolver</a>), which is what is supposed to happen. However, Wiley should
-        have reused the original DOI rather than mint their own.</p>\n\n<p>Furthermore,
-        while the original DOI still resolves in a web browser, I can''t retrieve
-        metadata about that DOI from CrossRef, so any attempt to build upon that DOI

-        as stable links to the literature the persistence of DOIs is something you
-        should be able to rely upon, both for people clicking on links in web browsers
-        and developers getting metadata from those DOIs. The whole rationale of the
-        DOI system is a single, globally unique identifier for each article, and that
-        these DOIs persist even when the publisher of the content changes. If this
-        property doesn''t hold, then why would a developer such as myself invest effort
-        in linking using DOIs?</p>\n\n<p>Just for the record, I think CrossRef is
-        great and is a hugely important part of the scholarly landscape. There are
-        lots of things that I do that would be nearly impossible without CrossRef
-        and its tools. But cases like this where we get massive duplication of DOIs
-        when a publishers takes over an existing journal fundamentally breaks the
-        underlying model of stable, persistent identifiers.</p>","tags":["CrossRef","DOI","duplicates"],"language":"en","references":null},{"id":"https://doi.org/10.59350/d3dc0-7an69","uuid":"545c177f-cea5-4b79-b554-3ccae9c789d7","url":"https://iphylo.blogspot.com/2021/10/reflections-on-macroscope-tool-for-21st.html","title":"Reflections

-        in a different sense, which is that of the antithesis to the microscope: namely
-        a method for visualizing subjects too large to be encompassed by a single
-        field of vision, such as the Earth or some subset of its phenomena (the biosphere,
-        for example), or conceptually, the universe.</p>\n\n<p><div class=\"separator\"

-        introduction to the term was via addresses given by Jesse Ausubel in the formative
-        years of the 2001-2010 <a href=\"http://www.coml.org\">Census of Marine Life</a>,
-        for which he was a key proponent. In Ausubel''s view, the Census would perform
-        the function of a macroscope, permitting a view of everything that lives in
-        the global ocean (or at least, that subset which could realistically be sampled
-        in the time frame available) as opposed to more limited subsets available
-        via previous data collection efforts. My view (which could, of course, be
-        wrong) was that his thinking had been informed by a work entitled \"Le macroscope,
-        vers une vision globale\" published in 1975 by the French thinker Joël de
-        Rosnay, who had expressed such a concept as being globally applicable in many
-        fields, including the physical and natural worlds but also extending to human
-        society, the growth of cities, and more. Yet again, some ecologists may also
-        have encountered the term, sometimes in the guise of \"Odum''s macroscope\",
-        as an approach for obtaining \"big picture\" analyses of macroecological processes
-        suitable for mathematical modelling, typically by elimination of fine detail
-        so that only the larger patterns remain, as initially advocated by Howard
-        T. Odum in his 1971 book \"Environment, Power, and Society\".</p>\n\n<p>From
-        the standpoint of the 21st century, it seems that we are closer to achieving
-        a \"macroscope\" (or possibly, multiple such tools) than ever before, based
-        on the availability of existing and continuing new data streams, improved
-        technology for data assembly and storage, and advanced ways to query and combine
-        these large streams of data to produce new visualizations, data products,
-        and analytical findings. I devote the remainder of this article to examples
-        where either particular workers have employed \"macroscope\" terminology to
-        describe their activities, or where potentially equivalent actions are taking
-        place without the explicit \"macroscope\" association, but are equally worthy
-        of consideration. To save space here, references cited here (most or all)
-        can be found via a Wikipedia article entitled \"<a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macroscope_(science_concept)\">Macroscope
-        (science concept)</a>\" that I authored on the subject around a year ago,
-        and have continued to add to on occasion as new thoughts or information come
-        to hand (see <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Macroscope_(science_concept)&offset=&limit=500&action=history\">edit
-        history for the article</a>).</p>\n\n<p>First, one can ask, what constitutes
-        a macroscope, in the present context? In the Wikipedia article I point to
-        a book \"Big Data - Related Technologies, Challenges and Future Prospects\"
-        by Chen <em>et al.</em> (2014) (<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-06245-7\">doi:10.1007/978-3-319-06245-7</a>),
-        in which the \"value chain of big data\" is characterised as divisible into
-        four phases, namely data generation, data acquisition (aka data assembly),
-        data storage, and data analysis. To my mind, data generation (which others
-        may term acquisition, differently from the usage by Chen <em>et al.</em>)
-        is obviously the first step, but does not in itself constitute the macroscope,
-        except in rare cases - such as Landsat imagery, perhaps - where on its own,
-        a single co-ordinated data stream is sufficient to meet the need for a particular
-        type of \"global view\". A variant of this might be a coordinated data collection
-        program - such as that of the ten year Census of Marine Life - which might
-        produce the data required for the desired global view; but again, in reality,
-        such data are collected in a series of discrete chunks, in many and often
-        disparate data formats, and must be \"wrangled\" into a more coherent whole
-        before any meaningful \"macroscope\" functionality becomes available.</p>\n\n<p>Here
-        we come to what, in my view, constitutes the heart of the \"macroscope\":
-        an intelligently organized (i.e. indexable and searchable), coherent data
-        store or repository (where \"data\" may include imagery and other non numeric
-        data forms, but much else besides). Taking the Census of Marine Life example,
-        the data repository for that project''s data (plus other available sources
-        as inputs) is the <a href=\"https://obis.org\">Ocean Biodiversity Information
-        System</a> or OBIS (previously the Ocean Biogeographic Information System),
-        which according to this view forms the \"macroscope\" for which the Census
-        data is a feed. (For non habitat-specific biodiversity data, <a href=\"https://www.gbif.org\">GBIF</a>
-        is an equivalent, and more extensive, operation). Other planetary scale \"macroscopes\",
-        by this definition (which may or may not have an explicit geographic, i.e.
-        spatial, component) would include inventories of biological taxa such as the
-        <a href=\"https://www.catalogueoflife.org\">Catalogue of Life</a> and so on,
-        all the way back to the pioneering compendia published by Linnaeus in the
-        eighteenth century; while for cartography and topographic imagery, the current
-        \"blockbuster\" of <a href=\"http://earth.google.com\">Google Earth</a> and
-        its predecessors also come well into public consciousness.</p>\n\n<p>In the
-        view of some workers and/or operations, both of these phases are precursors
-        to the real \"work\" of the macroscope which is to reveal previously unseen
-        portions of the \"big picture\" by means either of the availability of large,
-        synoptic datasets, or fusion between different data streams to produce novel
-        insights. Companies such as IBM and Microsoft have used phraseology such as:</p>\n\n<blockquote>By
-        2022 we will use machine-learning algorithms and software to help us organize
-        information about the physical world, helping bring the vast and complex data
-        gathered by billions of devices within the range of our vision and understanding.
-        We call this a \"macroscope\" – but unlike the microscope to see the very
-        small, or the telescope that can see far away, it is a system of software
-        and algorithms to bring all of Earth''s complex data together to analyze it
-        by space and time for meaning.\" (IBM)</blockquote>\n\n<blockquote>As the
-        Earth becomes increasingly instrumented with low-cost, high-bandwidth sensors,
-        we will gain a better understanding of our environment via a virtual, distributed
-        whole-Earth \"macroscope\"... Massive-scale data analytics will enable real-time
-        tracking of disease and targeted responses to potential pandemics. Our virtual
-        \"macroscope\" can now be used on ourselves, as well as on our planet.\" (Microsoft)
-        (references available via the Wikipedia article cited above).</blockquote>\n\n<p>Whether
-        or not the analytical capabilities described here are viewed as being an integral
-        part of the \"macroscope\" concept, or are maybe an add-on, is ultimately
-        a question of semantics and perhaps, personal opinion. Continuing the Census
-        of Marine Life/OBIS example, OBIS offers some (arguably rather basic) visualization
-        and summary tools, but also makes its data available for download to users
-        wishing to analyse it further according to their own particular interests;
-        using OBIS data in this manner, Mark Costello et al. in 2017 were able to
-        demarcate a finite number of data-supported marine biogeographic realms for
-        the first time (Costello et al. 2017: Nature Communications. 8: 1057. <a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-017-01121-2\">doi:10.1038/s41467-017-01121-2</a>),
-        a project which I was able to assist in a small way in an advisory capacity.
-        In a case such as this, perhaps the final function of the macroscope, namely
-        data visualization and analysis, was outsourced to the authors'' own research
-        institution. Similarly at an earlier phase, \"data aggregation\" can also
-        be virtual rather than actual, i.e. avoiding using a single physical system
-        to hold all the data, enabled by open web mapping standards WMS (web map service)
-        and WFS (web feature service) to access a set of distributed data stores,
-        e.g. as implemented on the portal for the <a href=\"https://portal.aodn.org.au/\">Australian
-        Ocean Data Network</a>.</p>\n\n<p>So, as we pass through the third decade
-        of the twenty first century, what developments await us in the \"macroscope\"
-        area\"? In the biodiversity space, one can reasonably presume that the existing
-        \"macroscopic\" data assembly projects such as OBIS and GBIF will continue,
-        and hopefully slowly fill current gaps in their coverage - although in the
-        marine area, strategic new data collection exercises may be required (Census
-        2020, or 2025, anyone?), while (again hopefully), the Catalogue of Life will
-        continue its progress towards a \"complete\" species inventory for the biosphere.
-        The Landsat project, with imagery dating back to 1972, continues with the
-        launch of its latest satellite Landsat 9 just this year (21 September 2021)
-        with a planned mission duration for the next 5 years, so the \"macroscope\"
-        functionality of that project seems set to continue for the medium term at
-        least. Meanwhile the ongoing development of sensor networks, both on land
-        and in the ocean, offers an exciting new method of \"instrumenting the earth\"
-        to obtain much more real time data than has ever been available in the past,
-        offering scope for many more, use case-specific \"macroscopes\" to be constructed
-        that can fuse (e.g.) satellite imagery with much more that is happening at
-        a local level.</p>\n\n<p>So, the \"macroscope\" concept appears to be alive
-        and well, even though the nomenclature can change from time to time (IBM''s
-        \"Macroscope\", foreshadowed in 2017, became the \"IBM Pairs Geoscope\" on
-        implementation, and is now simply the \"Geospatial Analytics component within
-        the IBM Environmental Intelligence Suite\" according to available IBM publicity
-        materials). In reality this illustrates a new dichotomy: even if \"everyone\"
-        in principle has access to huge quantities of publicly available data, maybe
-        only a few well funded entities now have the computational ability to make
-        sense of it, and can charge clients a good fee for their services...</p>\n\n<p>I
-        present this account partly to give a brief picture of \"macroscope\" concepts
-        today and in the past, for those who may be interested, and partly to present
-        a few personal views which would be out of scope in a \"neutral point of view\"

-        and <a href=\"https://github.com/rdmpage/wikispecies-parser\">https://github.com/rdmpage/wikispecies-parser</a>).</p>\n\n<p>There
-        are several reasons I want to merge these references. If I want to build a
-        citation graph for <i>Zootaxa</i> or <i>Phytotaxa</i> I need to merge references
-        that are the same so that I can accurate count citations. I am also interested
-        in harvesting the metadata to help find those articles in the <a href=\"https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org\">Biodiversity
-        Heritage Library</a> (BHL), and the literature cited section of scientific
-        articles is a potential goldmine of bibliographic metadata, as is Wikispecies.</p>\n\n<p>After
-        various experiments and false starts I''ve created a repository <a href=\"https://github.com/rdmpage/bib-dedup\">https://github.com/rdmpage/bib-dedup</a>
-        to host a series of PHP scripts to deduplicate bibliographics data. I''ve
-        settled on using CSL-JSON as the format for bibliographic data. Because deduplication
-        relies on comparing pairs of references, the standard format for most of the
-        scripts is a JSON array containing a pair of CSL-JSON objects to compare.
-        Below are the steps the code takes.</p>\n\n<h2>Generating pairs to compare</h2>\n\n<p>The
-        first step is to take a list of references and generate the pairs that will
-        be compared. I started with this approach as I wanted to explore machine learning
-        and wanted a simple format for training data, such as an array of two CSL-JSON
-        objects and an integer flag representing whether the two references were the
-        same of different.</p>\n\n<p>There are various ways to generate CSL-JSON for
-        a reference. I use a tool I wrote (see <a href=\"https://iphylo.blogspot.com/2021/07/citation-parsing-released.html\">Citation
-        parsing tool released</a>) that has a simple API where you parse one or more
-        references and it returns that reference as structured data in CSL-JSON.</p>\n\n<p>Attempting
-        to do all possible pairwise comparisons rapidly gets impractical as the number
-        of references increases, so we need some way to restrict the number of comparisons
-        we make. One approach I''ve explored is the “sorted neighbourhood method”
-        where we sort the references 9for example by their title) then move a sliding
-        window down the list of references, comparing all references within that window.
-        This greatly reduces the number of pairwise comparisons. So the first step
-        is to sort the references, then run a sliding window over them, output all
-        the pairs in each window (ignoring in pairwise comparisons already made in
-        a previous window). Other methods of \"blocking\" could also be used, such
-        as only including references in a particular year, or a particular journal.</p>\n\n<p>So,
-        the output of this step is a set of JSON arrays, each with a pair of references
-        in CSL-JSON format. Each array is stored on a single line in the same file
-        in <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON_streaming#Line-delimited_JSON_2\">line-delimited
-        JSON</a> (JSONL).</p>\n\n<h2>Comparing pairs</h2>\n\n<p>The next step is to
-        compare each pair of references and decide whether they are a match or not.
-        Initially I explored a machine learning approach used in the following paper:</p>\n\n<blockquote>\nWilson
-        DR. 2011. Beyond probabilistic record linkage: Using neural networks and complex
-        features to improve genealogical record linkage. In: The 2011 International
-        Joint Conference on Neural Networks. 9–14. DOI: <a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1109/IJCNN.2011.6033192\">10.1109/IJCNN.2011.6033192</a>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>Initial
-        experiments using <a href=\"https://github.com/jtet/Perceptron\">https://github.com/jtet/Perceptron</a>
-        were promising and I want to play with this further, but I deciding to skip
-        this for now and just use simple string comparison. So for each CSL-JSON object
-        I generate a citation string in the same format using CiteProc, then compute
-        the <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levenshtein_distance\">Levenshtein
-        distance</a> between the two strings. By normalising this distance by the
-        length of the two strings being compared I can use an arbitrary threshold
-        to decide if the references are the same or not.</p>\n\n<h2>Clustering</h2>\n\n<p>For
-        this step we read the JSONL file produced above and record whether the two
-        references are a match or not. Assuming each reference has a unique identifier
-        (needs only be unique within the file) then we can use those identifier to
-        record the clusters each reference belongs to. I do this using a <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disjoint-set_data_structure\">Disjoint-set
-        data structure</a>. For each reference start with a graph where each node
-        represents a reference, and each node has a pointer to a parent node. Initially
-        the reference is its own parent. A simple implementation is to have an array
-        index by reference identifiers and where the value of each cell in the array
-        is the node''s parent.</p>\n\n<p>As we discover pairs we update the parents
-        of the nodes to reflect this, such that once all the comparisons are done
-        we have a one or more sets of clusters corresponding to the references that
-        we think are the same. Another way to think of this is that we are getting
-        the components of a graph where each node is a reference and pair of references
-        that match are connected by an edge.</p>\n\n<p>In the code I''m using I write
-        this graph in <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trivial_Graph_Format\">Trivial
-        Graph Format</a> (TGF) which can be visualised using a tools such as <a href=\"https://www.yworks.com/products/yed\">yEd</a>.</p>\n\n<h2>Merging</h2>\n\n<p>Now
-        that we have a graph representing the sets of references that we think are
-        the same we need to merge them. This is where things get interesting as the
-        references are similar (by definition) but may differ in some details. The
-        paper below describes a simple Bayesian approach for merging records:</p>\n\n<blockquote>\nCouncill
-        IG, Li H, Zhuang Z, Debnath S, Bolelli L, Lee WC, Sivasubramaniam A, Giles
-        CL. 2006. Learning Metadata from the Evidence in an On-line Citation Matching
-        Scheme. In: Proceedings of the 6th ACM/IEEE-CS Joint Conference on Digital
-        Libraries. JCDL ’06. New York, NY, USA: ACM, 276–285. DOI: <a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1145/1141753.1141817\">10.1145/1141753.1141817</a>.\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>So
-        the next step is to read the graph with the clusters, generate the sets of
-        bibliographic references that correspond to each cluster, then use the method
-        described in Councill et al. to produce a single bibliographic record for
-        that cluster. These records could then be used to, say locate the corresponding
-        article in BHL, or populate Wikidata with missing references.</p>\n\n<p>Obviously
-        there is always the potential for errors, such as trying to merge references
-        that are not the same. As a quick and dirty check I flag as dubious any cluster
-        where the page numbers vary among members of the cluster. More sophisticated
-        checks are possible, especially if I go down the ML route (i.e., I would have
-        evidence for the probability that the same reference can disagree on some
-        aspects of metadata).</p>\n\n<h2>Summary</h2>\n\n<p>At this stage the code
-        is working well enough for me to play with and explore some example datasets.
-        The focus is on structured bibliographic metadata, but I may simplify things
-        and have a version that handles simple string matching, for example to cluster
-        together different abbreviations of the same journal name.</p>","tags":["data

-        Summary or Really Simple Syndication) was attracting a lot of interest as
-        a way to integrate data across various websites. Many science publishers would
-        provide a list of their latest articles in XML in one of three flavours of
-        RSS (RDF, RSS, Atom). This led to tools such as <a href=\"http://ubio.org/rss/\">uBioRSS</a>
-        [<a href=\"#Leary2007\">1</a>] and my own <a href=\"https://iphylo.blogspot.com/2009/05/e-biosphere-challenge-visualising.html\">e-Biosphere
-        Challenge: visualising biodiversity digitisation in real time</a>. It was
-        a time of enthusiasm for aggregating lots of data, such as the <a href=\"https://iphylo.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-demise-of-plos-biodiversity-hub.html\">ill-fated</a>
-        PLoS Biodiversity Hub [<a href=\"#Mindell2011\">2</a>].</p>\n\n<p>Since I
-        seem to be condemned to revisit old ideas rather than come up with anything
-        new,  I''ve been looking at providing a tool like the now defunct uBioRSS.
-        The idea is to harvest RSS feeds from journals (with an emphasis on taxonomic
-        and systematic journals), aggregate the results, and make them browsable by
-        taxon and geography. Here''s a sneak peak:</p>\n\n<div class=\"separator\"

-        seems like a straightforward task quickly became a bit of a challenge. Not
-        all journals have RSS feeds (they seem to have become less widely supported
-        over time) so I need to think of alternative ways to get lists of recent articles.
-        These lists also need to be processed in various ways. There are three versions
-        of RSS, each with their own idiosyncracies, so I need to standardise things
-        like dates. I also want to augment them with things like DOIs (often missing
-        from RSS feeds) and thumbnails for the articles (often available on publisher
-        websites but not the feeds). Then I need to index the content by taxon and
-        geography. For taxa I use a version of Patrick Leary''s \"taxonfinder\" (see
-        <a href=\"https://right-frill.glitch.me\">https://right-frill.glitch.me</a>)
-        to find names, then the <a href=\"https://index.globalnames.org\">Global Names
-        Index</a> to assign names found to the GBIF taxonomic hierarchy.</p>\n\n<p>Indexing
-        by geography proved harder. Typically <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toponym_resolution#Geoparsing\">geoparsing</a>
-        involves taking a body of text and doing the following:\n<ul><li>Using named-entity
-        recognition <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Named-entity_recognition\">NER</a>
-        to identity named entities in the text (e.g., place names, people names, etc.).</li>\n<li>Using
-        a gazetteer of geographic names <a href=\"http://www.geonames.org\">GeoNames</a>
-        to try and match the place names found by NER.</li>\n</ul></p>\n\n<p>An example
-        of such a parser is the <a href=\"https://www.ltg.ed.ac.uk/software/geoparser/\">Edinburgh
-        Geoparser</a>. Typically geoparsing software can be large and tricky to install,
-        especially if you are looking to make your installation publicly accessible.
-        Geoparsing services seem to have a short half-life (e.g., <a href=\"https://geoparser.io\">Geoparser.io</a>),
-        perhaps because they are so useful they quickly get swamped by users.</p>\n\n<p>Bearing
-        this in mind, the approach I’ve taken here is to create a very simple geoparser
-        that is focussed on fairly large areas, especially those relevant to biodiversity,
-        and is aimed at geoparsing text such as abstracts of scientific papers. I''ve
-        created a small database of places by harvesting data from Wikidata, then
-        I use the \"flash text\" algorithm [<a href=\"#Singh2017\">3</a>] to find
-        geographic places. This approach uses a <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trie\">trie</a>
-        to store the place names. All I do is walk through the text seeing whether
-        the current word matches a place name (or the start of one) in the trie, then
-        moving on. This is very quick and seems to work quite well.</p>\n\n<p>Given
-        that I need to aggregate data from a lot of sources, apply various transformations
-        to that data, then merge it, there are a lot of moving parts. I started playing
-        with a \"NoCode\" platform for creating workflows, in this case <a href=\"https://n8n.io\">n8n</a>
-        (in many ways reminiscent of the now defunct <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo!_Pipes\">Yahoo
-        Pipes</a>). This was quite fun for a while, but after lots of experimentation
-        I moved back to writing code to aggregate the data into a CouchDB database.
-        CouchDB is one of the NoSQL databases that I really like as it has a great
-        interface, and makes queries very easy to do once you get your head around
-        how it works.</p>\n\n<p>So the end result of this is \"BioRSS\" <a href=\"https://biorss.herokuapp.com\">https://biorss.herokuapp.com</a>.
-        The interface comprises a stream of articles listed from newest to oldest,
-        with a treemap and a geographic map on the left. You can use these to filter
-        the articles by taxonomic group and/or country. For example the screen shot
-        is showing arthropods from China (in this case from a month or two ago in
-        the journal <i>ZooKeys</i>). As much fun as the interface has been to construct,
-        in many ways I don''t really want to spend time making an interface. For each
-        combination of taxon and country I provide a RSS feed so if you have a favour
-        feed reader you can grab the feed and view it there. As BioRSS updates the
-        data your feed reader should automatically update the feed. This means that
-        you can have a feed that monitors, say, new papers on spiders in China.</p>\n\n<p>In
-        the spirit of \"release early and release often\" this is an early version
-        of this app. I need to add a lot more feeds, back date them to bring in older
-        content, and I also want to make use of aggregators such as PubMed, CrossRef,
-        and Google Scholar. The existence of these tools is, I suspect, one reason
-        why RSS feeds are less common than they used to be.</p>\n\n<p>So, if this
-        sounds useful please take it for a spin at <a href=\"https://biorss.herokuapp.com\">https://biorss.herokuapp.com</a>.
-        Feedback is welcome, especially suggestions for journals to harvest and add
-        to the news feed. Ultimately I''d like to have sufficient coverage of the
-        taxonomic literature so that BioRSS becomes a place where we can go to find
-        the latest papers on any taxon of interest.</p>\n\n<h2>References</h2>\n\n<blockquote>\n<a

-        released a very crude GraphQL endpoint for WikiData. More precisely, the endpoint
-        is for a subset of the entities that are of interest to WikiCite, such as
-        scholarly articles, people, and journals. There is a crude demo at <a href=\"https://wikicite-graphql.herokuapp.com\">https://wikicite-graphql.herokuapp.com</a>.
-        The endpoint itself is at <a href=\"https://wikicite-graphql.herokuapp.com/gql.php\">https://wikicite-graphql.herokuapp.com/gql.php</a>.
-        There are various ways to interact with the endpoint, personally I like the
-        <a href=\"https://altair.sirmuel.design\">Altair GraphQL Client</a> by <a
-        href=\"https://github.com/imolorhe\">Samuel Imolorhe</a>.</p>\n\n<p>As I''ve
-        <a href=\"https://iphylo.blogspot.com/2021/04/it-been-while.html\">mentioned
-        earlier</a> it''s taken me a while to see the point of GraphQL. But it is
-        clear it is gaining traction in the biodiversity world (see for example the
-        <a href=\"https://dev.gbif.org/hosted-portals.html\">GBIF Hosted Portals</a>)
-        so it''s worth exploring. My take on GraphQL is that it is a way to create
-        a self-describing API that someone developing a web site can use without them
-        having to bury themselves in the gory details of how data is internally modelled.
-        For example, WikiData''s query interface uses SPARQL, a powerful language
-        that has a steep learning curve (in part because of the administrative overhead
-        brought by RDF namespaces, etc.). In my previous SPARQL-based projects such
-        as <a href=\"https://ozymandias-demo.herokuapp.com\">Ozymandias</a> and <a
-        href=\"http://alec-demo.herokuapp.com\">ALEC</a> I have either returned SPARQL
-        results directly (Ozymandias) or formatted SPARQL results as <a href=\"https://schema.org/DataFeed\">schema.org
-        DataFeeds</a> (equivalent to RSS feeds) (ALEC). Both approaches work, but
-        they are project-specific and if anyone else tried to build based on these
-        projects they might struggle for figure out what was going on. I certainly
-        struggle, and I wrote them!</p>\n\n<p>So it seems worthwhile to explore this
-        approach a little further and see if I can develop a GraphQL interface that
-        can be used to build the sort of rich apps that I want to see. The demo I''ve
-        created uses SPARQL under the hood to provide responses to the GraphQL queries.
-        So in this sense it''s not replacing SPARQL, it''s simply providing a (hopefully)
-        simpler overlay on top of SPARQL so that we can retrieve the data we want
-        without having to learn the intricacies of SPARQL, nor how Wikidata models
-        publications and people.</p>","tags":["GraphQL","SPARQL","WikiCite","Wikidata"],"language":"en","references":null},{"id":"https://doi.org/10.59350/ymc6x-rx659","uuid":"0807f515-f31d-4e2c-9e6f-78c3a9668b9d","url":"https://iphylo.blogspot.com/2022/09/dna-barcoding-as-intergenerational.html","title":"DNA

-        is a very clever way to characterise the project. In an age of machine learning
-        this may be commonest way to share knowledge , namely as expert-labelled training
-        data used to build tools for others. Of course, this means the expertise itself
-        may be lost, which has implications for updating the models if the data isn’t
-        complete. But it speaks to Charles Godfrey’s theme of  <a href=\"https://biostor.org/reference/250587\">“Taxonomy
-        as information science”</a>.</p>\n<p>Note that the knowledge is also transformed
-        in the sense that the underlying expertise of interpreting morphology, ecology,
-        behaviour, genomics, and the past literature is not what is being passed on.
-        Instead it is probabilities that a DNA sequence belongs to a particular taxon.</p>\n<p>This
-        feels is different to, say iNaturalist, where there is a machine learning
-        model to identify images. In that case, the model is built on something the
-        community itself has created, and continues to create. Yes, the underlying
-        idea is that same: “experts” have labelled the data, a model is trained, the
-        model is used. But the benefits of the <a href=\"https://www.inaturalist.org\">iNaturalist</a>
-        model are immediately applicable to the people whose data built the model.
-        In the case of barcoding, because the technology itself is still not in the
-        hands of many (relative to, say, digital imaging), the benefits are perhaps
-        less tangible. Obviously researchers working with environmental DNA will find
-        it very useful, but broader impact may await the arrival of citizen science
-        DNA barcoding.</p>\n<p>The other consideration is whether the barcoding helps
-        taxonomists. Is it to be used to help prioritise future work (“we are getting
-        lots of unknown sequences in these taxa, lets do some taxonomy there”), or
-        is it simply capturing the knowledge of a generation that won’t be replaced:</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The
-        need to capture such knowledge is essential because there are, for example,
-        no young Finnish taxonomists who can critically identify species in many key
-        groups of ar- thropods (e.g., aphids, chewing lice, chalcid wasps, gall midges,
-        most mite lineages).</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p>The cycle of collect data, test
-        and refine model, collect more data, rinse and repeat that happens with iNaturalist
-        creates a feedback loop. It’s not clear that a similar cycle exists for DNA
-        barcoding.</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Written with <a href=\"https://stackedit.io/\">StackEdit</a>.</p>\n</blockquote>","tags":[],"language":"en","references":null},{"id":"https://doi.org/10.59350/enxas-arj18","uuid":"ab5a6e04-d55e-4901-8269-9eea65ce7178","url":"https://iphylo.blogspot.com/2022/08/can-we-use-citation-graph-to-measure.html","title":"Can

-        fascinating (and quite old) literature on rates of synonymy:\n</p>\n<blockquote>\nGaston

-        Systematic Biology, Volume 44, Issue 1, March 1995, Pages 93–96, <a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1093/sysbio/44.1.93\">https://doi.org/10.1093/sysbio/44.1.93</a>\n</blockquote>\n\n</p>\n\n<p>\nA
-        key point these papers make is that the observed rate of synonymy is quite
-        high (that is, many \"new species\" end up being merged with already known
-        species), and that because it can take time to discover that a species is
-        a synonym the actual rate may be even higher. In other words, in diagrams
-        like the one reproduced below, the reason the proportion of synonyms declines
-        the nearer we get to the present day (this paper came out in 1995) is not
-        because are are creating fewer synonyms but because we''ve not yet had time
-        to do the work to uncover the remaining synonyms.\n</p>\n  \n<div class=\"separator\"

-        another way, these papers are arguing that real work of taxonomy is revision,
-        not species discovery, especially since it''s not uncommon for > 50% of species
-        in a taxon to end up being synonymised. Indeed, if a taxoomic group has few
-        synonyms then these authors would argue that''s a sign of neglect. More revisionary
-        work would likely uncover additional synonyms. So, what we need is a way to
-        measure the amount of research on a taxonomic group. It occurs to me that
-        we could use the citation graph as a way to tackle this. Lets imagine we have
-        a set of taxa (say a family) and we have all the papers that described new
-        species or undertook revisions (or both). The extensiveness of that work could
-        be measured by the citation graph. For example, build the citation graph for
-        those papers. How many original species decsriptions are not cited? Those
-        species have been potentially neglected. How many large-scale revisions have
-        there been (as measured by the numbers of taxonomic papers those revisions
-        cite)? There are some interesting approaches to quantifying this, such as
-        using <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HITS_algorithm\">hubs and authorities</a>.</p>\n  \n  \n<p>I''m
-        aware that taxonomists have not had the happiest relationship with citations:\n  \n<blockquote>\nPinto
-        ÂP, Mejdalani G, Mounce R, Silveira LF, Marinoni L, Rafael JA. Are publications
-        on zoological taxonomy under attack? R Soc Open Sci. 2021 Feb 10;8(2):201617.

-        PMID: 33972859; PMCID: PMC8074659.\n</blockquote>\n\nStill, I think there
-        is an intriguing possibility here. For this approach to work, we need to have
-        linked taxonomic names to publications, and have citation data for those publications.
-        This is happening on various platforms. Wikidata, for example, is becoming
-        a repository of the taxonomic literature, some of it with citation links.\n\n<blockquote>\nPage

-        always found displaying a knowledge graph to be a challenge, as discussed
-        <a href=\"https://iphylo.blogspot.com/2019/07/notes-on-collections-knowledge-graphs.html\">elsewhere
-        on this blog</a> and in my paper on <a href=\"https://peerj.com/articles/6739/#p-29\">Ozymandias</a>.
-        Miller columns enable one to drill down in increasing depth, but it doesn’t
-        need to be a tree, it can be a path within a network. What I like about ResearchRabbit
-        and the original Scispace interface is that they present the current item
-        together with a list of possible connections (e.g., authors, citations) that
-        you can drill down on. Clicking on these will result in a new column being
-        appended to the right, with a view (typically a list) of the next candidates
-        to visit. In graph terms, these are adjacent nodes to the original item.  The
-        clickable badges on each item can be thought of as sets of edges that have
-        the same label (e.g., “authored by”, “cites”, “funded”, “is about”, etc.).
-        Each of these nodes itself becomes a starting point for further exploration.
-        Note that the original starting point isn’t privileged, other than being the
-        starting point. That is, each time we drill down we are seeing the same type
-        of information displayed in the same way. Note also that the navigation can
-        be though of as a <strong>card</strong> for a node, with <strong>buttons</strong>
-        grouping the adjacent nodes. When we click on an individual button, it expands
-        into a <strong>list</strong> in the next column. This can be thought of as
-        a preview for each adjacent node. Clicking on an element in the list generates
-        a new card (we are viewing a single node) and we get another set of buttons
-        corresponding to the adjacent nodes.</p>\n<p>One important behaviour in a
-        Miller column interface is that the current path can be pruned at any point.
-        If we go back (i.e., scroll to the left) and click on another tab on an item,
-        everything downstream of that item (i.e., to the right) gets deleted and replaced
-        by a new set of nodes. This could make retrieving a particular history of
-        browsing a bit tricky, but encourages exploration. Both Scispace and ResearchRabbit  have
-        the ability to add items to a collection, so you can keep track of things
-        you discover.</p>\n<p>Lots of food for thought, I’m assuming that there is
-        some user interface/experience research on Miller columns. One thing to remember
-        is that Miller columns are most often associated with trees, but in this case
-        we are exploring a network. That means that potentially there is no limit
-        to the number of columns being generated as we wander through the graph. It
-        will be interesting to think about what the average depth is likely to be,
-        in other words, how deep down the rabbit hole will be go?</p>\n\n<h3>Update</h3>\n<p>Should

-        any metric Plazi represents a considerable achievement. But often when I browse
-        individual records on Plazi I find records that seem clearly incorrect. Text
-        mining the literature is a challenging problem, but at the moment Plazi seems
-        something of a \"black box\". PDFs go in, the content is mined, and data comes
-        up to be displayed on the Plazi web site and uploaded to GBIF. Nowhere does
-        there seem to be an evaluation of how accurate this text mining actually is.
-        Anecdotally it seems to work well in some cases, but in others it produces
-        what can only be described as bogus records.</p>\n\n<h2>Finding errors</h2>\n\n<p>A
-        treatment in Plazi is a block of text (and sometimes illustrations) that refers
-        to a single taxon. Often that text will include a description of the taxon,
-        and list one or more specimens that have been examined. These lists of specimens
-        (\"material citations\") are one of the key bits of information that Plaza
-        extracts from a treatment as these citations get fed into GBIF as occurrences.</p>\n\n<p>To
-        help explore treatments I''ve constructed a simple web site that takes the
-        Plazi identifier for a treatment and displays that treatment with the material
-        citations highlighted. For example, for the Plazi treatment <a href=\"https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/html/03B5A943FFBB6F02FE27EC94FABEEAE7\">03B5A943FFBB6F02FE27EC94FABEEAE7</a>
-        you can view the marked up version at <a href=\"https://plazi-tester.herokuapp.com/?uri=622F7788-F0A4-449D-814A-5B49CD20B228\">https://plazi-tester.herokuapp.com/?uri=622F7788-F0A4-449D-814A-5B49CD20B228</a>.
-        Below is an example of a material citation with its component parts tagged:</p>\n\n<div
-        class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both;\"><a href=\"https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NIGuo9BggdA/YXaRQQrv0QI/AAAAAAAAgz4/SZDcA1jZSN47JMRTWDwSMRpHUShrCeOdgCPcBGAYYCw/s693/Screenshot%2B2021-10-24%2Bat%2B20.59.56.png\"

-        is an example where Plazi has successfully parsed the specimen. But I keep
-        coming across cases where specimens have not been parsed correctly, resulting
-        in issues such as single specimens being split into multiple records (e.g.,  <a
-        href=\"https://plazi-tester.herokuapp.com/?uri=5244B05EFFC8E20F7BC32056C178F496\">https://plazi-tester.herokuapp.com/?uri=5244B05EFFC8E20F7BC32056C178F496</a>),
-        geographical coordinates being misinterpreted (e.g., <a href=\"https://plazi-tester.herokuapp.com/?uri=0D228E6AFFC2FFEFFF4DE8118C4EE6B9\">https://plazi-tester.herokuapp.com/?uri=0D228E6AFFC2FFEFFF4DE8118C4EE6B9</a>),
-        or collector''s initials being confused with codes for natural history collections
-        (e.g., <a href=\"https://plazi-tester.herokuapp.com/?uri=252C87918B362C05FF20F8C5BFCB3D4E\">https://plazi-tester.herokuapp.com/?uri=252C87918B362C05FF20F8C5BFCB3D4E</a>).</p>\n\n<p>Parsing
-        specimens is a hard problem so it''s not unexpected to find errors. But they
-        do seem common enough to be easily found, which raises the question of just
-        what percentage of these  material citations are correct? How much of the
-        data Plazi feeds to GBIF is correct? How would we know?</p>\n\n<h2>Systemic
-        problems</h2>\n\n<p>Some of the errors I''ve found concern the interpretation
-        of the parsed data. For example, it is striking that despite including marine
-        taxa <b>no</b> Plazi record has a value for depth below sea level (see <a
-        href=\"https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/map?depth=0,9999&publishing_org=7ce8aef0-9e92-11dc-8738-b8a03c50a862&advanced=1\">GBIF
-        search on depth range 0-9999 for Plazi</a>). But <a href=\"https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/map?elevation=0,9999&publishing_org=7ce8aef0-9e92-11dc-8738-b8a03c50a862&advanced=1\">many
-        records do have an elevation</a>, including records from marine environments.

-        I''ve also noticed that Plazi seems to do well on zoological data, especially
-        journals like <i>Zootaxa</i>, but it often struggles with botanical specimens.
-        Botanists tend to cite specimens rather differently to zoologists (botanists
-        emphasise collector numbers rather than specimen codes). Hence data quality
-        in Plazi is likely to taxonomic biased.</p>\n\n<p>Plazi is <a href=\"https://github.com/plazi/community/issues\">using
-        GitHub to track issues with treatments</a> so feedback on erroneous records
-        is possible, but this seems inadequate to the task. There are tens of thousands
-        of data sets, with more being released daily, and hundreds of thousands of
-        occurrences, and relying on GitHub issues devolves the responsibility for
-        error checking onto the data users. I don''t have a measure of how many records
-        in Plazi have problems, but because I suspect it is a significant fraction
-        because for any given day''s output I can typically find errors.</p>\n\n<h2>What
-        to do?</h2>\n\n<p>Faced with a process that generates noisy data there are
-        several of things we could do:</p>\n\n<ol>\n<li>Have tools to detect and flag
-        errors made in generating the data.</li>\n<li>Have the data generator give
-        estimates the confidence of its results.</li>\n<li>Improve the data generator.</li>\n</ol>\n\n<p>I
-        think a comparison with the problem of parsing bibliographic references might
-        be instructive here. There is a long history of people developing tools to
-        parse references (<a href=\"https://iphylo.blogspot.com/2021/05/finding-citations-of-specimens.html\">I''ve
-        even had a go</a>). State-of-the art tools such as <a href=\"https://anystyle.io\">AnyStyle</a>
-        feature machine learning, and are tested against <a href=\"https://github.com/inukshuk/anystyle/blob/master/res/parser/core.xml\">human
-        curated datasets</a> of tagged bibliographic records. This means we can evaluate
-        the performance of a method (how well does it retrieve the same results as
-        human experts?) and also improve the method by expanding the corpus of training
-        data. Some of these tools can provide a measures of how confident they are
-        when classifying a string as, say, a person''s name, which means we could
-        flag potential issues for anyone wanting to use that record.</p>\n\n<p>We
-        don''t have equivalent tools for parsing specimens in the literature, and
-        hence have no easy way to quantify how good existing methods are, nor do we
-        have a public corpus of material citations that we can use as training data.
-        I <a href=\"https://iphylo.blogspot.com/2021/05/finding-citations-of-specimens.html\">blogged
-        about this</a> a few months ago and was considering using Plazi as a source
-        of marked up specimen data to use for training. However based on what I''ve
-        looked at so far Plazi''s data would need to be carefully scrutinised before
-        it could be used as training data.</p>\n\n<p>Going forward, I think it would
-        be desirable to have a set of records that can be used to benchmark specimen
-        parsers, and ideally have the parsers themselves available as web services
-        so that anyone can evaluate them. Even better would be a way to contribute
-        to the training data so that these tools improve over time.</p>\n\n<p>Plazi''s
-        data extraction tools are mostly desktop-based, that is, you need to download
-        software to use their methods. However, there are experimental web services
-        available as well. I''ve created a simple wrapper around the material citation
-        parser, you can try it at <a href=\"https://plazi-tester.herokuapp.com/parser.php\">https://plazi-tester.herokuapp.com/parser.php</a>.
-        It takes a single material citation and returns a version with elements such
-        as specimen code and collector name tagged in different colours.</p>\n\n<h2>Summary</h2>\n\n<p>Text
-        mining the taxonomic literature is clearly a gold mine of data, but at the
-        same time it is potentially fraught as we try and extract structured data
-        from semi-structured text. Plazi has demonstrated that it is possible to extract
-        a lot of data from the literature, but at the same time the quality of that
-        data seems highly variable. Even minor issues in parsing text can have big
-        implications for data quality (e.g., marine organisms apparently living above
-        sea level). Historically in biodiversity informatics we have favoured data
-        quantity over data quality. Quantity has an obvious metric, and has milestones
-        we can celebrate (e.g., <a href=\"GBIF at 1 billion - what''s next?\">one
-        billion specimens</a>). There aren''t really any equivalent metrics for data
-        quality.</p>\n\n<p>Adding new types of data can sometimes initially result
-        in a new set of quality issues (e.g., <a href=\"https://iphylo.blogspot.com/2019/12/gbif-metagenomics-and-metacrap.html\">GBIF
-        metagenomics and metacrap</a>) that take time to resolve. In the case of Plazi,
-        I think it would be worthwhile to quantify just how many records have errors,
-        and develop benchmarks that we can use to test methods for extracting specimen
-        data from text. If we don''t do this then there will remain uncertainty as
-        to how much trust we can place in data mined from the taxonomic literature.</p>\n\n<h2>Update</h2>\n\nPlazi
-        has responded, see <a href=\"http://plazi.org/posts/2021/10/liberation-first-step-toward-quality/\">Liberating
-        material citations as a first step to more better data</a>. My reading of
-        their repsonse is that it essentially just reiterates Plazi''s approach and
-        doesn''t tackle the underlying issue: their method for extracting material
-        citations is error prone, and many of those errors end up in GBIF.","tags":["data
