Finding Agriculture among Biodiversity: Metadata in Practice
نویسندگان
چکیده
The breadth of biodiversity literature available through the Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL) is potentially of great use to agricultural research. It provides access to literature drawn from across the world, and its archives document the Earth as it was one hundred years ago and more. However, this strength of BHL is also its weakness: the breadth of coverage of BHL can complicate finding relevant literature. In this short paper, we will explore the practical issues arising from attempting to filter out relevant legacy literature to support agricultural research.

متن کاملFinding scientific articles in a large digital archive: BioStor and the Biodiversity Heritage Library
Background: The Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL) is a large digital archive of legacy biological literature, comprising over 31 million pages scanned from books, monographs, and journals. During the digitisation process basic metadata about the scanned items is recorded, but not article-level metadata. Given that the article is the standard unit of citation, this makes it difficult to locate...
متن کاملBiodiversity of Hyphomycetes in soils of Urmia lake basin
Biodiversity of soil fungi was explored in soils of the National Park of Urmia Lake. For this purpose, 46 soil samples were collected from 5–15 cm depth and isolation was made using soil dilution plate and Warcup soil plate methods. Fungal isolates were identified based on cultural and morphological criteria. The results obtained in this study revealed that there is a rich diversity among hypho...
متن کاملMetadata for Models Generated by OpenModeller
In the last years, the economic development has grown on a large scale and accelerating the destruction of the ecosystem process, increasing the demand for tools and methods to support decision making with regard to biodiversity conservation. According to Berendsohn et al. (2011), one of the most serious “bottlenecks” in the scientific workflows of biodiversity sciences is the need to integrate...
متن کاملIsolation, identification and biodiversity of endophytic fungi o Thymus
Endophytes are considered as an important source of bioactive natural products because thesemicroorganisms are able to occupy unique biological niches and grow in non-ordinaryenvironments. Therefore, endophytic fungi of medicinal plants can be developed for medicinalapplications. On the other hand, medicinal properties of plant can be ascribed to its endophyticfungi. Thymus sp. is widely used a...
