Possibilities to enhance the semantic navigation of BHL: further developing the 'unit of work'
Letting user communities carve BHL into branded, pre-filtered 'hosted portals' could serve diverse needs, satisfy funders and drive innovation.

SYM08B discussion: extracting geography and articles from BHL
Article-level discoverability and geographic extraction are key BHL gaps that AI may now make tractable, but resourcing remains the constraint.
Nicole Kearney, Roderic Page ↗
Biodiversity literature as FAIR and AI-ready data by design (and how to get there)
Don't just liberate biodiversity literature, publish it liberated.

Building digital-native species: Transitioning from PDF liberation to semantic-by-design publishing
Keeping data linked and structured from specimen to publication yields FAIR, trusted data on the day of publication.

Realtime Access to Data in new Taxonomic Publications
Plazi can deliver interlinked, machine-actionable data from new taxonomic papers within hours, and XML-first publishing removes most of the costly effort.
Guido Sautter ↗
The future is the future - thought about access to data in publications
Liberating data from literature works, but the future lies in use-case-driven, digital-first publishing that also targets the undescribed majority of species.

Curation through citation: using AI and a knowledge graph to curate DNA barcodes
Linking barcodes, specimens and literature in a knowledge graph could fix many BOLD records, if we can reliably extract the connecting codes from papers.

Hit or miss? Creative promotion of biodiversity data and standards for success and recognition
The community should broaden what it counts and publishes as outputs, and deliberately reach new audiences with creative, citable formats.

Using Large Language Models to enhance biodiversity knowledge extraction: From taxonomic treatments to graph-based knowledge systems
Taxonomic treatments hold underused habitat knowledge that LLMs and a provenance-preserving knowledge graph can structure and link to ecoregions, helping map data-poor species.
