Specimens, collections, researchers, and publications: towards social and citation graphs for natural history collections
View through CrossRef
Being in Ottawa last week for a hackathon meant I could catch up with David Shorthouse (@dpsSpiders. David has been doing some neat work on linking specimens to identifiers for researchers, such as ORCIDs, and tracking citations of specimens in the literature. David's Bloodhound tool processes lots of GBIF data for occurrences with names of those who collected or identified specimens.
