TL;DR: This report reviews the current state of theart applied approaches on automated tools, services and workflows for extracting information from images of natural history specimens and their labels and considers the potential for repurposing existing tools, including workflow management systems.

TL;DR: The vision of the Semantic Web, as proposed by Tim Berners-Lee et al, is to evolve the current Web to one where information and services are understandable and usable by computers as well as humans––to create a ‘‘Web for machines’’.

TL;DR: This paper introduces the Teallach approach to interface development, providing an overview of the system, its motivations, and underlying technology.

TL;DR: Research Objects as discussed by the authors are portable units that enable the sharing, preservation, interpretation and reuse of research investigation results and provide a single entry point to access information about the hypothesis investigated, the datasets used, the experiments carried out, the results of the experiments, the people involved in the research, etc.

TL;DR: This work investigates the current practices in workflow sharing, re-use and discovery among life scientists chiefly using the Taverna workflow management system, and develops benchmarks for the evaluation of discovery tools, drawing on a series of practical exercises.
