Work Package 7 (WP7) of the ViBRANT project focuses on improving access to biodiversity literature and implementing data mining techniques. Led by David Morse from The Open University, UK, WP7 collaborates with experts from various institutions, including the Karlsruher Institut für Technologie, The Natural History Museum, and Pensoft Publishers. Key challenges include reliance on external services, navigating diverse XML standards, and ensuring sustainability. The project aims to create both automatic and semi-automatic tools to enhance biodiversity data extraction for better management and research.
