• Improving the interoperability of European biodiversity digital libraries.

• Facilitate the open access to taxonomic literature for a large number of target users including the general public.

• Provide a multilingual access point for the search and retrieval of biodiversity content through EUROPEANA and BHL.

• Develop operational strategies and processes for long-term preservation and sustainability of the data.

• Facilitate and enable the initiation of scanning initiatives in European countries.

Teaming up

• Create an index of bibliographic references based on the EDIT partner’s taxonomic literature catalogues using mechanismsdeveloped jointly with the BHL-Europe Project.

• Linked to the index of references, provide information on subscribeddigital literature resources available at the partners. Link through to these resources where access is permitted.

• Link freely available digital resources (e.g. BHL) to the index of references.

• Make the search capabilities for the index of references accessibleas (i) a web service and (ii) within a web page (ViTaL web portal).

• Allow users of the index of references to nominate literature itemsfor digitisation.
