This pitch covers making sure that citations can flow easily in and out of TaxonWorks. It will do this in three ways:
- Finding an existing data model which can hold information citations with a standard format for representing it.
- Possibly wikipedia:BibTeX
- Writing code to read this in and out in Ruby, possibly just using a standard library [1].
- 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.
Micro-citations should be differentiated from verbatim references. A micro-citation is just an author and date (as seen in a full taxon name). A verbatim reference is the full reference as it appears in documentation that hasn't be broken into normalized pieces yet. Both versions need to be tracked and searchable. We also need a way to get a listing out of TW of both versions, so they can be normalized into full sources.
- Lists of journals.
- BHL API to convert BHL URLs into references
- Finding out more about a particular citation
- Getting abstract, keywords from PubMed
- Pulling in citation from BHL
- ImpactStory information
- Designing a user interface to make it easy to resolve microcitations
- Autocompletion
- Journal name identification
- Searching on Google Scholar/Wikipedia for books/authors
Datasets we can play with
- ITIS
- GNUB
- UCD
Input/output formats
- BibTeX
- RIS?
URLs of taxonomic significance
- ISBN/ISSN
- BHL
- PubMed
- DOI
- Google Scholar
- Mendeley/Zotero/EndNote
