Semantic interoperability

From Pixels to Policy: Closing the Gap between In Situ Monitoring, Earth Observation, and Policy Actionability

Packaging data with its semantics, provenance and machine-readable policy as FAIR Digital Objects makes it rescue-ready and redeployable elsewhere.

Diversity Workbench (DWB) as a Standards-Based Collection Management System for Heterogeneous Research Data and Biodiversity Data Mobilization

Diversity Workbench can hold very heterogeneous institutional data and publish it through standard pipelines, but its complexity pushes LIB to build web and API layers.

LifeGate: Extending a Global Visual PhyloMap into a Structured Biodiversity Knowledge System

LifeGate's visual map of all described species will become an open, connected knowledge system with trait-based faceted search built from AI-assisted literature extraction.

Mobilising and integrating extracted information from the literature into a biodiversity data ecosystem - the BIOfid approach

BIOfid mobilises Central European biodiversity literature with NLP, ontologies and standards, because raw LLM extraction still hallucinates identifiers and needs verification.

Robot-ready by construction: an ontology-driven, SHACL-validated submission pipeline for national ecological monitoring data

Driving both field data capture and RDF export from one semantically annotated specification makes monitoring data standards-compliant and machine-ready from the start.
