One of the major challenges in biodiversity informatics is the generation of machine-readable data that is interoperable between different biodiversity-related data infrastructures. Producers of such data have to comply with existing standards and to be resourceful enough to enable efficient data generation, management and availability. Conversely, nanopublications offer a decentralised approach ( Kuhn et al. 2016 ) towards achieving data interoperability in a robust and standarized way. A nanopublication is a named RDF graph, which serves to communicate a single fact and its original source (provenance) through the use of identifiers and linked data ( Groth et al. 2010 ). It is composed of three constituent graphs (assertion, provenance, and publication info), which are linked to one another in the nanopublication header ( Kuhn et al. 2016 ). For instance, a nanopublication has been published to assert a species interaction in which a hairy woodpecker ( Picoides villosus ) ate a beetle (genus  Ips ), along with the license and related bibliographic citation* 1 . In biodiversity, nanopublications can be used to exchange information between infrastructures in a standardised way (Fig.  1 ) and to enable curation and correction of knowledge. They can be implemented within different workflows to formalise biodiversity knowledge in self-enclosed graphs. We have developed several nanopublication models* 2  for different biodiversity use cases: species occurrences, new species descriptions, biotic interactions, and links between taxonomy, sequences and institutions. Nanopublications can be generated by various means:semi-automatic extraction from the published literature with a consequent human curation and publication;generation during the publication process by the authors via dedicated formalisation tool and published together with the article;de novo  generation of a nanopublication through decentralised networks such as Nanobench ( Kuhn et al. 2021 ).One of the possible uses of nanopublications in biodiversity is communicating new information in a standardised way so that it can be accessed and interpreted by multiple infrastructures that have a common agreement on how information is expressed through the use of particular ontologies, vocabularies and sets of identifiers. In addition, we envision nanopublications to be useful for curation or peer-review of published knowledge by enabling any researcher to publish a nanopublication containing a comment of an assertion made in a previously published nanopublication. With this talk, we aim to showcase several nanopublication formats for biodiversity and to discuss the possible applications of nanopublications in the biodiversity domain.
