1.Next generation sequencing requires next generation publishingThe first eukaryotic new species described with a fully sequenced transcriptome, DNA barcode and microcomputed tomographyViBRANT

2. Taxonomic descriptions Not changed much since Linnaeus! 3. The problem? 4. The data deluge Massive sampling/data gathering 5. High-throughput next generation sequencing 6. Only 13,494 new animal species described in 2012 (Index of Organism Names) 7. Proportion of dark taxa increase dramatically!Rod Page, iPhylo blogspot, 12 April 2011 8. Low uptake of data publishing/sharing 9. Solutions? 10. Turbo-taxonomy: publish fast and lot! Pipeline descriptions of hundreds of new species Molecular data Concise descriptions Digital imaging 11. Jumping into the bug data world: A holistic description of the new species of the future 12. Eupolybothrus cavernocolus 13. Six methods used to describe it Conventional morphological study SEM umages Barcoding (COI) Fully sequenced transcriptomic profile Micro-CT scanning Video of living specimen 14. Data repositories Data have been deposited in: GigaDB (all data) INSD (COI and transcriptome sequences) BOLD (COI) Morphbank (morphological images) Morphosource (micro CT row data, 3D model) Plazi (original descriptions of all keyed species 15. Micro-CT scanning Micro-CT scans ensure that morphological and anatomical characters can be examined in their natural position without damage to the original specimen 16. Video of the holotype 17. Why so many methods? Big data management pilot for taxonomy 18. The first biodiversity paper to join ISA Commons metadata standard 19. Five data types in GigaDB linked through ISA-TAB metadata 20. The Cybertype: questions and challenges What data can be used to constitute a cybertype? Should cybertype be restricted to morphological data? Cybertype composite (i.e. consisting of several data types in one repository) or distributed (different parts of data residing on different physical servers)? Cross-linking molecular and morphological data through Darwin Core standards? Global metadata standards for micro-CT data? Reliable data repositories for micro-CT data? 21. Next generation sequencing and imaging require next generation publishing! 22. Novel concepts Authoring, reviewing and publishing in one place, for first time! Upfront markup! Small data imported in and downloadable from text Large datasets published as data papers Text stored and treated as data Community peer-review and community ownership of interoperable data Narrative (text) and data integrated publishing! 23. Taxa and their usages 24. Taxon profile 25. Taxon profile 26. Map localities 27. Download data 28. Imagine how data (if published in this way) can be reused across different domains. 29.
