Open Access report

Open biodiversity data; Automated import of scholarly journal articles into Wikisource

By Daniel Mietchen

Biodiversity research goes open data

In a move inspired by the Bermuda Principles on open data in human genomics and by the Budapest, Bethesda and Berlin declarations on Open Access, natural history museums, botanical gardens and other institutions engaged in biodiversity research have launched and signed a declaration on open data. As the launch took place in the Bouchout Castle in the Botanical Garden of Meise (Belgium), the declaration is named the Bouchout declaration. More details in the Belgium report.

Automated import of scholarly articles into the English Wikisource

A proposal has been made on the English Wikisource to import the full text of suitably licensed scholarly articles in a bot-assisted fashion, with the corresponding media files going into Wikimedia Commons. The bot code exists and has been tested on 10 sample articles.
