What we will do in ViBRANT (how to extract more value from the source?)

5

The four stages of the XML-based editorial workflow and the ViBRANT Challenges:

SUBMISSION – tagged or non-tagged manuscripts? – we have a tool to mark up untagged manuscripts; we have to create authoring tools that will facilitate creating and submission of manuscripts in XML

PEER-REVIEW AND EDITORIAL PROCESS – we shall develop a system that will provide online open peer-review; all stages, from submission, to publication and dissemination will be XML-based

PUBLICATION – the publication will follow the “article-of-the future” model and will be enriched with increasing number of semantic enhancements, external and internal linking, ontologies

DISSEMINATION and USE – link yourself or perish! Dissemination becomes at least as important as publication; professional and efficient dissemination is possible nowadays only though (1) XML and RDF-based technologies, and (2) the open access model

How we are doing it

5

• In a close cooperation with ViBRANT partners and Plazi test and improve a published version of TaxPub, that will serve as interoperability format and also link to TaxonX and TaXMLit

• Elaborate a clear conceptual model of the open peer-review editorial workflow

• Develop, test and implement the workflow as a routine process in the Biodiversity Data Journal and make it applicable to other journals

• Promote the idea and concept through the biodiversity community and publishers
