A conventionally written (MS Word) Checklist of vascular plants of the Departmentof Ñeembucú, Paraguay (De Egea et al. 2012), consisting of more than 4,100 taxon names, was converted from text into Darwin Core Archive format and published simultaneously in both human-readable, traditional publication and structured, machine-readable data. The process is described in an associated forum paper (Remsen et al. 2012).
The process was performed from the final revised version, after peer-review and editorial acceptance. The data were published and indexed through the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) Integrated Publishing Toolkit (IPT) and significant portions of the text of the paper were used to describe the metadata on IPT. After publication, the data will become available through the GBIF infrastructure and can be re-used on their own or collated with other data.
The two papers were published in issue 9 of PhytoKeys. The study was supported in part by the ViBRANT project.
