DEST training in Berlin: Biodiversity Data Reuse
This week, the SIB Text-mining group participated in the Distributed European School of Taxonomy (DEST) in Berlin, delivering a specialized session on processes of annotating and sharing biodiversity data. The lecture focused on the complementary reuse of data extracted from publications, highlighting practical tools and workflows for researchers and institutions.
The training featured hands-on exercises using BiodiversityPMC, allowing participants to test specific annotation and question-answering workflows on their own use cases. They explored front-end interfaces, accessed data through SIBiLS collections, back-end services, and APIs, and experimented with curation-support tools and advanced triage systems. The session provided a practical setting for researchers to engage directly with biodiversity data, enhancing their skills in discovering, extracting, and reusing information from scientific publications.
