Background SIL will republish, in digital form, the 58 biological volumes of the 63-volume set of the Biologia Centrali-Americana. Because of its scope and detail, the BCA represents an important but manageable sector of published taxonomic literature for this project. This step will provide high-resolution, bit-mapped images of the entire text and figures with a navigational device. SIL will rekey and code the text in a manner that will allow for integration with other major scientific datasets while still providing a scientifically useful stand-alone product. SIL and NMNH will engage the systematic biological community in the project to define an extensible Markup Language (XML) Document Type Description (DTD) or schema for taxonomic literature to ensure its applicability to the widest possible audiences.
