v1.0.0 was given just because i was just trying out for fun and wanted to trigger CI build, as of now this repo under @harshzalavadiya is completely recycable and git history will be removed if we decide to use this repo so please ignore version or commits as of now :P
I also found one more library https://github.com/sajari/docconv (MIT License) so we can avoid AGPL and this might ease it for everyone incl. for the folks who uses it for commercial usage, and also has a optional https://github.com/otiai10/gosseract support and exactly what we need, I have updated repo that uses docconv now https://github.com/harshzalavadiya/gnfinder-plus, also I have started using proper sementic releases from now on
@harshzalavadiya great news! Can you investigate if there is a difference in handling a 2-column PDFs by either
unipdf or docconv? If one of them supports 2 column layouts, and other does not, I think it is more important than AGPL license. Most tools do not support 2 columns sadly.
@harshzalavadiya looks like
docconv is a wrapper to pdf2text command line tool, which means an introduction of an external dependency that has to be installed independently of gnfinder-plus. Because of that, I would say your unipdf solution has an advantage over docconv solution.
I added info about docconv and gnfinder-plus to https://github.com/gnames/gnfinder/wiki/RFC-for-%22gnfinder-plus%22-project
@gdower, @mju looks like symposia at TDWG is very collection oriented, and the work on CoL-BHL integration does not fit. However there is a plenary section that seem to fit this work, should we write and abstract to fit this section? https://www.tdwg.org/conferences/2020/session-list/#pd01%20avenues%20into%20integration:%20communicating%20taxonomic%20intelligence%20from%20sender%20to%20recipient
My understanding it is more about what Nico Franz is doing, however I think taxonomic intelligence has a broader sense, like 'Animal', 'Bear' 'Ursus arctos', 'Ursus arctos L. 1758', 'Ursus arctos L. 1758 sensu A.B. C' all carry some taxonomic inteligence and their meaning would significantly shift depending on a context
You should get an email with a link that will let you see and edit it in the future.
Hello it doesn't seem that this Gitter is very active.
However, I have one question for which I don't see a clear answer to. What are the links between the Global Names Index and the Global Names Resolver? Is GNI the database that provides a backbone for GNR?
Because I'm using the

Because I'm using the
taxize R package and it has different functions to access both services.
There are 3 projects that are doing approximately the same thing: https://gni.globalnames.org, https://resolver.globalnames.org, https://verifier.globalnames.org
I do keep them all for now, because people have scripts that depend on them. However, when https://verifier.globalnames.org will get all functionality of other two,
gni and resolver will be deprecated and removed after a "sunset" period.

Oh! But I suppose it'll be a long deprecation period given that so many people are relying on it.
resolver adds fuzzy matching. Its code is stale, but data are updated reguarly
verifier is synced with resolver, but is about 100 times faster
From the moment when
verifier is ready, I think I will set a year or so for people to adjust
and I will ask @scott to update taxize
There are few things that have to be stabilized, for example, when I update database, I do shut it down for an hour and a half, but I try to do it during off hours for most users.
and it does not happen that often
This would be my choice of using
verifier
and REST API: https://app.swaggerhub.com/apis-docs/dimus/gnames/1.0.0
https://github.com/gnames/gnverify also allows to run web-interface locally
@debpaul is genty pushing me to start talking about new GN tools :)
Yes, I am @dimus 00 they are great tools! @Rekyt do you have a twitter account? May we loop you into our tweets?
Yes of course! My handle is @LeNematode
So there will be updates at globalnames.org soon
thank you for another gentle push @Rekyt :)
