People are essential to linking biodiversity data.
People are one of the best known and most stable entities in the biodiversity knowledge graph. The wealth of public information associated with people and the ability to identify them uniquely open up the possibility to make more use of these data in biodiversity science. Person data are almost always...Groom, Quentin ; Güntsch, Anton ; Huybrechts, Pieter ; Kearney, Nicole ; Leachman, Siobhan …

Abstract
Progress in Authority Management of People Names for Collections.
The concept of building a network of relationships between entities, a knowledge graph, is one of the most effective methods to understand the relations between data. By organizing data, we facilitate the discovery of complex patterns not otherwise evident in the raw data. Each datum at the nodes of a...Groom, Quentin ; Besombes, Chloé ; Brown, Josh ; Chagnoux, Simon ; Georgiev, Teodor …

Quality issues in georeferencing: From physical collections to digital data repositories for ecological research
Natural history collections constitute an enormous wealth of information of Life on Earth. It is estimated that over 2 billion specimens are preserved at institutions worldwide, of which less than 10% are accessible via biodiversity data aggregators such as GBIF. Moreover, they are a very important resource for eco‐evolutionary research,... -

SYNTHESYS+ Virtual Access - Report on the Ideas Call (October to November 2019)
The SYNTHESYS consortium has been operational since 2004, and has facilitated physical access by individual researchers to European natural history collections through its Transnational Access programme (TA). For the first time, SYNTHESYS+ will be offering virtual access to collections through digitisation, with two calls for the programme, the first in...Hardy, Helen ; Knapp, Sandra ; Allan, E.

A benchmark dataset of herbarium specimen images with label data
More and more herbaria are digitising their collections. Images of specimens are made available online to facilitate access to them and allow extraction of information from them. Transcription of the data written on specimens is critical for general discoverability and enables incorporation into large aggregated research datasets. Different methods, such...Dillen, Mathias ; Groom, Quentin ; Chagnoux, Simon ; Güntsch, Anton ; Hardisty, Alex …
