Version  4.4 hört sich vielleicht nicht nach einem großen Versions-Schritt an, bringt aber Veränderungen mit sich, auf die viele Einrichtungen (auch aus Deutschland) lange gewartet haben: ein kontrolliertes Vokabular für Textpublikationstypen. Interessierten Metadaten-Expert:innen wird die Öffnung hin zu textuellen Publikationen beim Lesen des Titels der Schema-Dokumentation auffallen.

[From July 2018, the Europe PMC repository will start indexing preprints. Making preprints discoverable through Europe PMC will make the science reported in preprints more widely discoverable and support their inclusion into workflows such as grant reporting, article citing and credit and attribution.

On Friday I discovered that BHL has started issuing CrossRef DOIs for articles, starting with the journal Revue Suisse de Zoologie . The metadata for these articles comes from BioStor. After a WTF and WWIC moment, I tweeted about this, and something of a Twitter storm (and email storm) ensued: To be clear, I'm very happy that BHL is finally assigning article-level DOIs, and that it is doing this via CrossRef.

Below I sketch what I believe is a straightforward way GBIF could tackle the issue of annotating and cleaning its data. It continues a series of posts Annotating GBIF: some thoughts, Rethinking annotating biodiversity data, and More on annotating biodiversity data: beyond sticky notes and wikis on this topic.
