Abstract
Safeguarding Access to 500 Years of Biodiversity Data: Sustainability planning for the Biodiversity Heritage Library.
The Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL) is the world’s largest open access digital library for biodiversity literature and archives. Headquartered at Smithsonian Libraries and Archives (SLA), BHL is a global consortium of research institutions working together to build and maintain a critical piece of biodiversity data infrastructure. BHL provides free access... -

Abstract
Connecting the Dots: Aligning human capacity through networks toward a globally interoperable Digital Extended Specimen (DES) infrastructure.
Thanks to substantial support for biodiversity data mobilization in recent decades, billions of occurrence records are openly available, documenting life on Earth and enabling timely research, awareness raising, and policy-making. Initiatives across local to global scales have been separately funded to serve different, yet often overlapping audiences of data users,...Ellwood, Elizabeth R. ; Addink, Wouter ; Bates, John ; Bentley, Andrew ; Buschbom, Jutta …

Abstract
New Developments and Future Vision of the Nomenclatural Database IPNI and the Taxonomic Database WCVP.
IPNI (International Plant Names Index) has been providing nomenclatural data in one form or another for the past 138 years. Over the past decade, great progress has been made in improving the data and making it accessible via a new website. We will be showcasing the new features that have...Govaerts, Rafaël ; Hartley, Helen ; Krieger, Jonathan ; Wrankmore, Emma

Demonstration of the New IPNI (International Plant Names Index) Registration System.
Registration systems have long been in place for names of plant cultivars, fungi, prokaryotes and animals, and more recently for algae (Müller et al. 2022). Yet, despite previous attempts, nothing has become established for vascular plants. The newly released International Plant Names Index (IPNI) registration system aims to address this....Wrankmore, Emma ; Krieger, Jonathan ; Govaerts, Rafaël ; Hartley, Helen

Abstract
Examining Herbarium Specimen Citation: Developing a literature-based institutional impact measure.
Herbarium specimens are critical components of the research process - providing "what, where, when" evidence for species distributions and through type designation, providing the basis for un-ambiguous, standardised nomenclature facilitating the interpretation of scientific names. Specimen references are embedded within research article texts, by convention usually presented in a relatively...Nicolson, Nicky ; Paton, Alan ; Phillips, Sarah ; Tucker, Allan

Abstract
Integrating Collector and Author Roles Across Specimen and Publication Datasets.
This work builds on the outputs of a collector data-mining exercise applied to GBIF mobilised herbarium specimen metadata, which uses unsupervised learning (clustering) to identify collectors from minimal metadata associated with field collected specimens (the DarwinCore terms , and ). Here, we outline methods to integrate these data-mined collector entities...Nicolson, Nicky ; Paton, Alan ; Phillips, Sarah ; Tucker, Allan
