Partners
Zenodo
Zenodo, Plazi and Pensoft collaborate in developing the Biodiversity Literature Repository as an open access repository to articles and liberated open FAIR data including figures and taxonomic treatments related to biodiversity. A customized access is provided for all its content via the BLR website and to images via Ocellus.
GBIF
Plazi joined GBIF 2001 and is since 2015 an associate participant of GBIF. Plazi provides occurrences liberated and extracted from the scientific literature, especially from treatments. The assignment of persistent identifiers to treatments allows to cite the source of the occurence taxon.
Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics
Plazi is a taxonomic treatment data provider for the Swiss Institute of Bionformatics Library System, Switzerland.
Biodiversity Hertiage Library
The Biodiversity Hertiage Library and Plazi collaborate to make data imprisoned in legacy literature digital accessible knowledg, and to import it to GBIF.
Factsmission
Factsmission collaborates with Plazi to build the knowledge graph Synospecies
Franz Inc.
Franz Inc. supports Plazi with access to its Allegrograph in our triple store Synospecies
NCBI
Plazi provides a traget for NCBI taxonomic linkout. Access to the published data inferred to by the use of an organism name is unique.
NLM Journal Archiving and Interchange Tags Suite
Together with the Journal Archiving and Interchange Tagsuit team, Plazi and Pensoft developed and maintain TaxPub, a biodiversity domain specific flavor of JATS, now used in taxonomic publications. Besides semantically enhancing the articles, this allows at the same time to import the articles into PubMed Central and extract content directly into TreatmentBank.
Pensoft
Pensoft and Plazi have a longstanding collaboration in contributing to the next generation, open access, semantically enhanced scientific communication and infrastructure.
eCH
Plazi is a member of eCH, a Swiss association to develop and promote standards in the area of e-Government. Specifically, Plazi is engaged with providing scientific taxonomic names, their synonyms and data behind as glue to link species specific data from government agencies, the industry, conservation sector and citizens.
Wikidata
Plazi initiated in Wikidata accesss to treatments and data included therein, and through this provides potentially access to all the treatments hold in TreatmentBank.
Zoobank
Zoobank and Plazi cooperate in linking nomenclatorial acts, especially new taxonomic names, with its treatments, and the usage of the same UUIDs for the same concept.
CETAF
Plazi is a member of the the CETAF’s e-Publishing Working Group.
Datacamp
Datacamp provides Plazi with free data education to improve our skills of our Plazi members.
