Project description
Advanced data library for the biodiversity field
Open science practices can be used to create a new European community of important research infrastructures in the field of biodiversity. This is the aim of the EU-funded BiCIKL project. It will provide access to data in connection with new tools and services at each distinct level and along the entire research chain. The project will deliver new methods and workflows to combine access to harvesting, liberating, linking, accessing and reusing sub-article-level data derived from literature. BiCIKL will issue, for the first time, access and tools for continuous linking and usage tracking of data along the sequence from specimen, sequences, species, analytics, publications and biodiversity knowledge graph to reuse.
Objective
BiCIKL is a proposal that will initiate and build a new European starting community of key research infrastructures, establishing open science practices in the domain of biodiversity through provision of access to data, associated tools and services at (1) each separate stage of, and (2) along the entire research cycle. BiCIKL will provide new methods and workflows for an integrated access to harvesting, liberating, linking, accessing and re-using of sub-article-level data (specimens, material citations, samples, sequences, taxonomic names, taxonomic treatments, figures, tables) extracted from literature. BiCIKL will provide for the first time access and tools for seamless linking and usage tracking of data along the line: specimens → sequences → species → analytics → publications → biodiversity knowledge graph → re-use.
