TaxPub: An Extension of JATS for Taxonomic Descriptions

JATS
• Journal Article Tag Suite• Formerly NLM/NCBI Journal Archiving
and Publishing Tag Suite• Version 1, 2002• PubMed Central• Widely adopted by STM publishers• Now NISO JATS
•ANSI/NISO Z39.96-2012
JATS
• DTD Spectrum• Legacy/Loose <----> Prospective/Strict• <---------- cost of application ---------->• Archiving (Green) DTD• Publishing (Blue) DTD• Now also Authoring and Book DTDs• Offers extensibility features
Taxonomic Descriptions
• “Treatment”• Discussion of the features/distribution of a
related group of organisms, “taxon”• Formal conventions
• ICZN, ICBN, etc...• Frequently parts of publications• Cited as discrete objects• 200+ year history
Linnaeus, Systema Naturae, 10th Edition, 1767-1770
Taekul, C., N. F. Johnson, L. Masner, A. Polaszek and Rajmohana K.. 2010. World species of the genus Platyscelio Kieffer (Hymenoptera, Platygastridae). ZooKeys 50: 97-126.
Treatment Components
• NomenclatureoNameoAuthorityoStatus, etc…
• Description• Materials Examined
oSpecimens Collection Deposit
• Diagnosis, Distribution, Etymology, Key, etc…
Background: TaxonX
• NSF/DFG Funded Project• Extraction of species data from taxonomic
literature of Ants• TaxonX schema for markup of corpus• c. 500 publications; c. 11,000 treatments• Development continued by Plazi
Legacy Literature: Challenges
• Text accuracy• Formal/Editorial Variety• Condensed Information• Loose schema, higher costs of application
New Literature: Rationale
Matt Yoder et al., Development of the Hymenoptera Anatomy Ontology: Implications for Systematics and Literature Mark-up
TaxPub
• Extension of Publishing (“Blue”) DTD• Parsimony: largely rely on base DTD• “tp:” namespace• Available throughout
o <tp:taxon-name>: scientific nameso <tp:descriptive-statement>: morphologyo <tp:materials-citation>: specimens; gene sequences
• Within <body>o <tp:treatment> + subelements
<tp:taxon-name>
<p>A further undescribed <tp:taxon-name rank="genus">Nixonia</tp:taxon-name> species related to <tp:taxon-name rank="species">N. lamorali</tp:taxon-name> emerged from processing of samples collected in Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve (50km east of Cape Town). This species may usurp <tp:taxon-name rank="species">N. gigas</tp:taxon-name>...</p>
<tp:taxon-name>, con't
• @reg: regularized form of name• object-id: identifier(s) for name
o semantics of xlink attrs?• @*-part-type: semantics for name components
o stringo use URI's: here terms from Darwin Core vocabulary

<tp:descriptive-statement>
• Relatively undeveloped• Modeling of descriptions challenging

Future Work
• Extension to “Green”/Archiving DTDo For legacy literature
• Descriptive data (i.e., keys, characters, states, etc...)• Tools
• XSLT stylesheets for rendition/proofing• XSLT stylesheets for conversion to external formats• Development of supporting vocabularies• Schematron for profiling• Stand-alone validator
• Implementations• EJT• Smithsonian• Zootaxa
