Indexing Publication data: RSS Example

The diagram above illustrates the GBIF use of GNA components for the processing of RSS feeds from scholarly journal sources.

1. RSS feeds are catalogued and registered as GBIF publication resources
2. The GBIF Harvesting and Indexing Toolkit accesses and processes the RSS data at scheduled intervals
3. Taxonomic Name Recognition services identify names occurring in the title and abstracts of the indexed articles
4. Names and publication references are stored in a publication index within the GBIF data portal
5. Taxonomic Resources are registered via the GBIF GBRDS
6. Taxonomic data is accessed and cached in the GBIF Checklist Bank
7. Concept Matching processes link names in the publication index to the Checklist Bank resources
8. GBIF indexing processors integrate these too resources to provide filtered and organised access to publication information. User profiles provide configuration options.
9. Output is integrated into web applications and re-synthesised RSS feeds
10. RSS feeds are incorporated into Participant data portals, providing up-to-date links to relevant publications for referenced taxa.
