Treatment Markup
This element of the project deals with the XML markup of taxonomic publications, and more precisely, tries to identify which schema will be best suited for this process.
As an example, we have taken an AMNH Novitates and marked it up using a simple publication DTD. In our quest to further the granularity of this markup process, we have marked it up using our proposed schema for markup taxonomic literature
-
AMNH Publication:
- Original PDF Version (14MB)
- Simple XML Version using AMNH DTD
- TaxonX XML Markup Version TaxonX Schema:
- TaxonX v1.0 BETA (imports MODS & DarwinCore)
Other Candidate Schemas
- Access to Biological Collections Data (ABCD) - version 1.2
- AMNH Publication DTD
- DarwinCore - version 2.0
- LinnaenCore
- Structure of Descriptive Data (SDD) version 1.0 Beta 2
- Taxonomic Concept Schema (TCS) version 1.0
- taXMLit version 1.3
- TaxonX version 0.3
- Unified Biosciences Information Frameword (UBIF) version 1.0 Beta 18
- Taxon Treatment Markup - ABCD
- Taxon Treatment Markup - SDD
- Taxon Treatment Markup - taXMLit
- Taxon Treatment Markup - TaxonX version 0.3
One Taxonmomic Treatment has also been marked up with the preceeding schemas to compare and contrast the merrits for literature markup. Only schemas that were able to come close to marking up the entirety of the treatment are used below
