• Introduction

    BKH is a one-stop portal for the Biodiversity Knowledge Hub (BKH), operating as the information cluster for access to all tools and services provided by different Biodiversity Research Infrastructures. The BKH acts as a knowledge broker for unparalleled access to data and associated tools and services made available through the integration of state-of-the-art research infrastructures. Through integration and synergies of existing research infrastructures, it provides a completely new level of services at the disposal of the researchers, including enabled access to FAIR data at any stage of the research cycle. These services also open the future generation approach to harvesting, liberating, accessing, and re-using data from the biodiversity and life sciences literature, from specimen and sample collections, from genomic sequences and taxonomic units, for anybody, anytime and from anywhere.

    BKH users have unprecedented access to data, tools, and services currently only partly accessible via scattered locations on the web. Moreover, by using advanced text and data mining tools, BKH opens for the first time a vast corpus of inaccessible data and knowledge ‘imprisoned’ in publications.

    This site offers guidelines and training material for BKH users. It aims to guide and support users to access biodiversity data interlinked through the published literature and between the data classes, using the BKH.

    It includes two key modules:
    • A general module for all BKH (Introduction to BKH) users that describes the available services, including the best practices and recommendations for further use
    • A detailed module on Data liberation and Publishing tools
