BIOfid provides access to current and historical biodiversity literature.

It is a collaboration between SGN, the University Library Johann Christian Senckenberg at Goethe University, and the working group Computational Humanities/Text Technology at Goethe University.

Since the start of the pilot project on data mobilization from historical Central European biodiversity literature in German language, we have gradually expanded our service at the organismic (vascular plants, birds, moths and butterflies, soil invertebrates) and technological level (Text Mining Pipeline and Semantic Search Engine).

The developed tools should be re-usable to permit processing of further text corpora with other organism groups and/or other geographic regions in the future.
