The growing corpus of hundreds of millions of pages of taxonomic literature reporting research results based on specimens is very rich in facts. In order to make them reusable,  Plazi ,  Pensoft  and  Zenodo  are building and maintaining the  Biodiversity Literature Repository  which includes a workflow to discover, describe, store, in order to making these facts open access, findable, accesible, interoperable and reusable ( FAIR ).Currently, 43,000 articles have 406,000 material citations, and around 50% of annually new described species are made accessible and immediately reused by the  Global Biodiversity Information Facility  (GBIF). All the images are deposited at the Biodiversity Literature Repository (BLR), as well as the taxonomic treatments. For each of these deposits enriched metadata is added and a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) is minted. Through this process, Plazi is the single largest data set provider to GBIF and continues to provide ca. 45,000 unique taxonomic names at GBIF.The workflow is optimized for born digital portable data format (PDF) based publications, but other formats can also be ingested, including  TaxPub , a taxonomy specific version of the  Journal Article Tag Suit  (JATS) XML. After ingestion, the PDF is readily converted to an open-access, proprietary format called  Image Markup File  (IMF). IMF is a compressed file format that consists of the enhanced information contained in the PDF, with figures and tables properly extracted. The IMFs are then housed at  TreatmentBank , with associated exported files, including DwC-A for each parent article and their respective taxonomic treatments, XMLs of treatments and GBIF datasets of their parent articles. Taxonomic treatments, in addition to figures and the original PDFs, are also deposited on  Zenodo , where a DOI is minted if none is already available. These Zenodo deposits include in the metadata links back to the different data and file formats, including the treatments XMLs, maintaining the system connected and up-to-date. Third-party players, like  GBIF ,  Global Biotic Interactions  (GloBI),  Ocellus ,  OpenBiodiv  and  Synospecies  are constantly fed by system hookups, which guarantees data consistency after further edits.The PDF-IMF conversion and data enhancement is possible due to Plazi’s open-source software called  GoldenGate Imagine . Ingested XMLs, that are validated against the TaxPub scheme, follow a similar path into the system and the many third-party applications.This operation is supported by the  Arcadia Fund  as well by service contracts from publishers to disseminate their data. In addition, the workflow has been contributing treatments, images from numerous publications relevant to understanding the virus spillover as part of the  CETAF COVID19 task force .In this lecture this workflow is described and explained, including the associated infrastructure and its ongoing changes and upcoming steps of development.
