Abstract & description

Abstract

Using a downloaded csv file for a particular taxon author, we would use the csv file to find the authors and dates for a taxon together with the original paper. The results would be uploaded to wikidata as qualifiers (author & year) for the taxon name, and the original text would be given as a reference for the name. Format: roundtable tutorial/ workshop

Description

Using a downloaded csv file for a particular taxon author, we would use the csv file to find the authors and dates for a taxon together with the original paper. This is done via openRefine and reconciliation of the original taxon name. Facetting allows simple segmentation of the data to permit the original paper to be found, and finding the original paper permits the finding of the authority name. The aim is to show a simple workflow which enhances a taxon's wikidata.
