The biodiversity found on Earth today consists of many millions of animal and plant species, which is the product of nearly 3,5 billion years of evolution. (Wikipedia, s.v. Biodiversity, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biodiversity)

Linnean classification system, developed in the 18th century, is the basis of the modern zoological and botanical classification and of the naming system for species. (Wikipedia, s.v. Taxonomy, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxonomyhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxonomy) BHL uses taxonomy as a global and common subject-based classification. In DC subject element taxonomies attempt to completely describe all of the terms in a field, as well as the relationship between the terms, supplying a unique access point.

Full works, not bits & pieces. Open Access: all content can be repurposed, reused, reformatted. Congruent: must fit in to a dynamic knowledge ecology. Public Domain – pre-1923 Core literature pre-1923: ~100 million pages All pre-1923: 120-150 million pages All literature: 280-320 million pages 1.3 million catalogue records 73% are monographs (remainder are serials at title-level) 63% is English language material The next most popular language (9%) is German About 30% of material was published before 1923. 32,000 volumes, 13,000,000 pages digitized Università degli Studi di Firenze

Yet, even this small fraction represents a high potential for adding value to the European Digital Library initiative.” (D 6.5.
