The core mission of Natural History Institutions is to contribute to the understanding of the natural world and to disseminate this knowledge. They do so by establishing and maintaining biological collections; conducting scientific research associated with their collections and disseminating scientific knowledge. NHIs have thus been scientific publishers since their creation, publishing journals and floras, in compliance with the regulations of their field, in particular new versions of nomenclatural codes regarding online publications. Over the past decade, the publishing industry has had to face drastic changes and adapt their workflows economically (with a mandate for open access) and technically (with a need to comply with FAIR principles). As scientific and public institutions, NHIs have to ensure research to be easily accessible, interoperable and reusable to facilitate new research. The traditional way of publishing taxonomy and floras is still predominant and does not allow to easily reach the information needed to perform revisions and increase the biodiversity knowledge. Taxonomic papers are not only legal documents that determine the legitimacy of a name of a (new) species; they also cover every creation, description, modification, and use of a taxon. It is crucial to link the information describing a taxon and its history. We will present the latest development in publishing, how to semantically structure floras and taxonomic papers to extract (and thus link) all essential parts of the information. Based on a single-source publishing model, the XML file enables to automatically enrich text, and structure domain-specific sections of articles (e.g., Material and methods; Taxon names; Мaterial examined). We will demonstrate how the publication can be processed to obtain high quality-controlled biodiversity data extraction and ensure it to be directly usable within WFO as soon as published, and how it enhances the editing of the paper and controls the data before its publication.
