Index Animalium

Data from uBio and Smithsonian on Sherborn Index Animalium

For uBio project see http://www.ubio.org/Sherborne/index.html, data dumps come from http://www.sil.si.edu/DigitalCollections/indexanimalium/Datasets/

For background see:

Richard, J. M., Pilsk, S. C., & Kalfatovic, M. R. (2016, January 7). Unlocking Index Animalium: From paper slips to bytes and bits. ZooKeys. Pensoft Publishers. https://doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.550.9673

ION

The folder ion contains results of web scraping the ION web site to retrieve to Index Animalium links on ION’s pages.

uBio

The bio folder contains content from the Wayback Machine detailing uBio’s parsing efforts.

Smithsonian

The folder smithsonian has the data dumps from the Smithsonian, which are not CSV files despite the name as the citations contain commas that break CSV parsing.

Code

My code to parse ION HTML pages, and to parse the Smithsonian “CSV” files.

Global Names BHL CoL

The file http://opendata.globalnames.org/bhlnames/ may also be relevant here, depending on how much overlap there is between Catalogue of Life and Index Animalium.
