PublicationBank, Policy/Best Practice

Dear Dr. Huber:  We are interested in being part of the conversation
on PublicationBank.

One area we are interested in is the resolution of abbreviated and
lexical forms of citations and I would think this would have to be a
component of a more fundamental publicationBank resolution system.
Issues of integrating citations have arisen in the digital conversion
of taxonomic catalogs.  We have successfully completed Nomenclator
Zoologicus and are now working on Index Animalium.   Resolving
citations is a priority because it can identify high-impact
candidates for future digital conversion, link different cited forms
to a common source, and provide a foundation for referencing
bibliographic components of taxonomic circumscriptions.   Between the
two sources we have over 800,000 citations references as a starting
point.  I know this issue is also of interest with our library
colleagues at the Smithsonian.

We have a similar issue with author names annotating taxon names and
have an web service in place for resolving them.  At the moment this
is populated primarily with botanical authors but as we post-process
Sherborne and Neave we will likely be adding many thousands of
zoological authors.
