The goals of the novel services presented through BKH are to:

  • Ensure continuous linking and usage tracking of data throughout the biodiversity research cycle from specimens, sequences, species, analytics, and publications to construction of the biodiversity knowledge graph and facilitate data reuse;
  • Ensure seamless discoverability of data through globally unique identifiers exposed to individual and federated search engines, when those technologies come in, from each participating infrastructure and across data domains;
  • Provide, facilitate, support and scale up open access to FAIR interlinked data, liberated from literature, natural history collections, sequence archives and taxonomic nomenclature in both human-readable and machine-actionable formats;
  • Harmonise the existing standards, metadata, policies and technologies and develop new ones (where necessary), in order to provide and ingest FAIR data, thereby ensuring standard-aligned interlinking and interoperability;
  • Optimise the reusability and reproducibility of complex datasets, assembled together from different biodiversity-related domains and their supporting infrastructures, for the generation of novel research hypotheses and new knowledge
