Following on from exploring links between GBIF and GenBank here I'm going to look at links between GBIF and the primary literature, in this case articles scanned by the Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL). The OCR text in BHL can be mined for a variety of entities. BHL itself has used uBio's tools to identity taxonomic names in the OCR text, and in my BioStor project I've extracted article-level metadata and geographic co-ordinates.
