Abstract

The underlying principle of the Bibliography of Life is to provide taxonomists and others with a freely accessible bibliography covering the whole of life. Such a bibliography had been achieved for specific study areas within taxonomy, but not for “life” as a whole.

Now the EU FP7 ViBRANT project has progressed the Bibliography of Life and produced the two components needed to realize this concept - RefBank and ReFinder. RefBank is a network of servers to store, deduplicate and parse bibliographic references. ReFinder is designed to discover and download references from a wide range of open access online bibliographies, such as CrossRef, PubMed, Mendeley, Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL), RefBank, Biostore, Bionames and others. Demonstrations of these two components are being run as part of BIH2013.
