Courses, Events and Workshops Plazi analysts have been giving a number of training courses over the recent years. The training courses are tailored to the audience and their general objectives for data to be liberated and made available. Synospecies A linked open data based service to leverage taxonomic names, its synonyms and its justification through access to the respective taxonomic treatment. eBioDiv Matching Service The crowdsourcing tool allows users to match material citations contained in the academic literature to the respective specimens in natural history collections (in GBIF). Helpdesk Users can interact with the helpdesk service by creating issues on Plazi’s Community Github repo and find answers to FAQs. TreatmentBank Plazi’s service to liberate taxonomic information and provide access to all the liberated data and links. How to contribute to liberate taxonomic data from scientific publications, make them FAIR, and widely available Taxonomic publications contribute to a continually updated corpus of over 500 million pages of research results and the best expert curated datasets, including the entire history of taxonomic names. To harness its power, the data needs to be liberated, that is, converted into digitally accessible knowledge.

LIBERATING DATA IMPRISONED IN TAXONOMIC PUBLICATIONS Minimally, this includes machine actionable, semantically enhanced taxonomic treatments, taxonomic names, treatment citations, figures, tables, material citations and bibliographic references as Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) data. Plazi provides a workflow to annotate and extract case by case or fully automated data from target or corpora of publications respectively. VISUALIZATION OF DATA IN PUBLICATIONS Plazi Verein and Plazi GmbH form the Swiss based nonprofit organization Plazi, supporting and promoting the development of persistent and openly accessible digital taxonomic literature. Our production facility at Porto Alegre, Brazil, runs all aspects of processing publications, development of learning tools and dashboards creation. MAKING TAXONOMIC DATA FINDABLE AND ACCESSIBLE AT SCALE: TREATMENTBANK ACCESS TO LIBERATED DATA AND LINKS SERVICES REUSING LIBERATED DATA Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) GBIF is including in its aggregation process taxonomic articles as datasets, taxonomic treatments, taxonomic names and materials citations. Ocellus A frontend to search liberated figures in BLR World Flora Online WFO is linking taxonomic names to treatments, using TreatmentBank and soon on an automated service to add to new incoming treatments. 15 years of discovering known biodiversity PLAZI Biodiversity Literature Repository (BLR) In collaboration with Zenodo, BLR allows FAIRization of treatments and figures by minting DataCite DOIs, and long term storage and preservation of the data. Annotated and FAIRized data can be used to evaluate a botanist's contribution to science, the scope or reach of a scientific journal, the biodiversity present in a given area, among various other practical applications.
