This pitch covers making sure that citations can flow easily in and out of TaxonWorks. It will do this in three ways:

  1. Finding an existing data model which can hold information citations with a standard format for representing it.
  2. Writing code to read this in and out in Ruby, possibly just using a standard library [1].
  3. Writing code to resolve microcitations. A working example of this has been created by Rod Page that links generic names from Nomenclator Zoologicus with references from the Biodiversity Heritage Library.
    • Lists of journals.
    • BHL API to convert BHL URLs into references
  4. Designing a user interface to make it easy to resolve microcitations
