The older literature, dating from 15th century, can inform management practices in modern concerns, especially biodiversity loss, land-use patterns, sustainability and climate change. Therefore, unlike most other sciences, taxonomic research and usage require access to the full range and history of publications on the subject. Biological taxonomy is the discipline that manages the names of living and fossil organisms, defining the relationships within and between them. It therefore provides the central infrastructure for information management in the biological sciences [1]. Publication through peer-reviewed journals is a relatively recent phenomenon. Until the 1930s, scientific observations appeared in a wide variety of publications, including learned societies (e.g. Proceedings of the Royal Society), Institutional annual reports (e.g. Verhandlungen des Naturwissenschaftlichen Vereins in Hamburg) and ...

These were developed during our ongoing work on automating the markup of scanned copies of the biodiversity literature. Such automation is required if historic literature is to be used to inform contemporary issues in biodiversity research. We consider an enhanced TEI XML markup language, which is used as an intermediate stage in translating from the initial XML obtained from Optical Character Recognition to taXMLit, the target annotation schema. The intermediate representation allows additional information from external sources such as a taxonomic thesaurus to be incorporated before the final translation into taXMLit. We give an overview of the project workflow in automating the markup process, and consider what extensions to existing markup schema will be required to best support working taxonomists. Finally, we discuss some of the particul...
