IOC World Bird List Conversion

Based on XML version 4.1 - Family 237 - Genus 2.274 - Species 10.668 - Subspecies 20.976

Added Multilingual Names - Languages:

Zh, Da, Et, Fr, Hu, Ja, Pl, Ru, Es, En, Cs, Nl, Fi, De, It, No, Pt, Sk and Sv

Uses TaxonConcept Ontology

Discussion About Modelling - How to model relation species and

subspecies?

birds:inSpecies

IOC World Bird List Conversion Approach

Used Cliopatria xmlrdf package: - Load XML - Use structure XML to generate RDF - Refine RDF using rewrite rules

Discussion Contact creators? - Dereferenceable IRIs? - Use ico: namespace?

Discussion Add missing Dutch common names?

Naturalis Collection Conversion Approach

Convert XLS to CSV Prolog for Processing Data

- Load info rows CSV - Parse Scientific Names using DCG - Construct Identifiers from Scientific Names

Prolog for Creating RDF - Assert Object - Assert Web Resource - Assert Aggregations - Write Graphs

Discussion Who should convert? - Static versus Volatile Data - Script versus XSLT - Cultural Heritage Institution versus University
