There is a variety of taxonomic and nomenclatural databases, curated at different intervals and using different criteria to decide which species names are listed as accepted and which are considered synonyms. Botanical collections, such as herbaria or botanical gardens, maintain data that link names to plant material. The choice of the used database affects the naming of the plant specimens. If data from different institutions are to be matched, inconsistencies may arise. A solution that allows the use of different databases side by side would be beneficial in our opinion. The linking of botanical taxonomic and nomenclatural datasets by utilizing standardized Semantic Web technologies allows the coexistence of several lists. In this study, we conducted a mapping of The Plant List, World Flora Online, and the Integrated Taxonomic Information System provided in Darwin Core Archive files to the Simple Knowledge Organization System and created an interlinked version of these datasets. The developed graphical user interface visualized the contents of the included taxonomic databases. The usefulness and usability of the GUI were positively evaluated in interviews with five scientific employees and curators of four different botanical gardens.

“…Continuing our efforts to develop more and more biodiversity ontologies [41, 24, 42, 7] would allow us to envision increasing semantification of the ecology domain in the near future. Combined with tools such as inteGraph, which facilitate the conversion of biodiversity datasets into graph knowledge bases, these semantic resources could support the creation by different communities of numerous domain-specific KGs, which could eventually be interconnected to form a single biodiversity KG covering the entire tree of life and the full diversity of global ecosystems.…”

“…OpenBiodiv [23] integrates information extracted from the biodiversity literature into a graph database using the OpenBiodiv-O ontology and an RDF version of the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) taxonomic backbone. TAXREF-LD [24] is a KG representation of the French national taxonomical register for fauna, flora and fungus that interlinks information about taxonomy, species interactions, development stages, biogeography, conservation statuses, etc. In a recent talk at TDWG 2021, Michel et al [25] called for more biodiversity data producers to start publishing KGs.…”

With the rapid accumulation of biodiversity data, data integration has emerged as a hot topic in soil ecology. Data integration has indeed the potential to advance our knowledge of global patterns in soil biodiversity by facilitating large-scale meta-analytical studies of soil ecosystems. However, ecologists are still poorly equipped when it comes to integrating disparate datasets into a unified knowledge graph with well-defined semantics. This paper presents a practical approach to constructing a knowledge graph from heterogeneous and distributed (semi-)structured data sources. To illustrate our approach, we integrate several datasets on the trophic ecology of soil organisms into a trophic knowledge graph and show how information can be retrieved from the graph to support multi-trophic studies.
