Versioned Archive and Review of Biotic Interactions and Taxon Names Found within globalbioticinteractions/dmns-para hash://md5/debe93c2899017046219422eb22d1fbf

Abstract

Introduction Data Review and Archive Data review and archiving can be a time-consuming process, especially when done manually. This review report aims to help facilitate both activities. It automates the archiving of datasets, including Darwin Core archives, and is a citable backup of a version of the dataset. Additionally, an automatic review of species interaction claims made in the dataset is generated and registered with Global Biotic Interactions (J. H. Poelen, Simons, and Mungall 2014). This review includes summary statistics about, and observations about, the dataset under review : DMNS Parasite collection (Arctos) http://ipt.vertnet.org:8080/ipt/archive.do?r=dmn 2026-06-02T14:44:55.008Z hash://md5/debe93c2899017046219422eb22d1fbf Methods The review is performed through programmatic scripts that leverage tools like Preston (Elliott et al. 2025), Elton (Kuhn, Poelen, and Leinweber 2025), Nomer (Salim and Poelen 2025), globinizer (J. Poelen, Seltmann, and Mietchen 2024) combined with third-party tools like grep, mlr, tail and head.

Review Process Overview You can find a copy of the full review script at check-data.sh. See also GitHub and Codeberg. Results In the following sections, the results of the review are summarized 2. Then, links to the detailed review reports are provided. Files An extensive list of files produced as part of the review process can be found in Appendix A. Review Files. Archived Dataset Note that data.zip file in this archive contains the complete, unmodified archived dataset under review. Biotic Interactions Biotic Interaction Data Model In this review, biotic interactions (or biotic associations) are modeled as a primary (aka subject, source) organism interacting with an associate (aka object, target) organism. The dataset under review classified the primary/associate organisms with specific taxa. The primary and associate organisms The kind of interaction is documented as an interaction type. The dataset under review, named globalbioticinteractions/dmns-para, has fingerprint hash://md5/debe93c2899017046219422eb22d1fbf, is 71.4MiB in size and contains 2,090 interactions with 3 unique types of associations (e.g., parasiteOf) between 64 primary taxa (e.g., Eumolpianus eumolpi) and 495 associated taxa (e.g., Tamias speciosus). An exhaustive list of indexed interaction claims can be found in gzipped csv, tsv, geopackage and parquet archives. To facilitate discovery, a preview of claims available in the gzipped html page at indexed-interactions.html.gz are shown below. The exhaustive list was used to create the following data summaries below.

The first shows a summary network on the kingdom level, and the second shows how interactions on the family level. It is important to note that both network graphs were first aligned taxonomically using the Catalogue of Life. Please refer to the original (or verbatim) taxonomic names for a more original view on the interaction data.

Another way to discover the dataset under review is by searching for it on the GloBI website. Taxonomic Alignment As part of the review, all names are aligned against various name catalogs (e.g., col, ncbi, discoverlife, gbif, itis, wfo, mdd, tpt, pbdb, and worms). These alignments can help review name usage or aid in selecting of a suitable taxonomic name resource.

Names that were not aligned with a catalog are counted as NAs. So, the total number of unaligned names for a catalog will be listed in their NA row. resolvedCatalogName resolvedRank count col NA 48 col class 2 col family 9 col genus 19 col infraorder 2 col order 1 col parvorder 1 col phylum 3 col species 178 col subgenus 3 col suborder 1 col subspecies 28 col superorder 1 discoverlife NA 291 gbif NA 52 gbif class 2 gbif family 9 gbif genus 18 gbif order 1 gbif phylum 3 gbif species 178 gbif subspecies 29 itis NA 77 itis class 2 itis family 9 itis genus 14 itis order 3 itis phylum 3 itis species 151 itis subclass 1 itis suborder 3 itis subspecies 28 itis superorder 1 mdd NA 290 ncbi NA 74 ncbi class 2 ncbi family 9 ncbi genus 14 ncbi infraorder 2 ncbi order 2 ncbi phylum 3 ncbi species 169 ncbi subclass 1 ncbi suborder 2 ncbi subspecies 13 ncbi superorder 1 pbdb NA 137 pbdb class 2 pbdb family 4 pbdb genus 7 pbdb infraorder 1 pbdb order 4 pbdb phylum 2 pbdb species 130 pbdb suborder 1 pbdb subspecies 1 pbdb superorder 1 pbdb unranked clade 2 tpt NA 120 tpt family 2 tpt genus 7 tpt species 161 wfo NA 289 wfo genus 1 worms NA 191 worms class 2 worms family 6 worms genus 5 worms infraorder 1 worms order 2 worms phylum 3 worms species 75 worms subclass 1 worms suborder 3 worms subspecies 1 worms superorder 1 Name relationship types per catalog. Name relationship type "NONE" means that a name was not recognized by the associated catalog. "SAME_AS" indicates either a "HAS_ACCEPTED_NAME" or "SYNONYM_OF" name relationship type.

GloBI Review Badge As part of the review, a review badge is generated. This review badge can be included in webpages to indicate the review status of the dataset under review. Picture of a GloBI Review Badge 3 Note that if the badge is green, no review notes were generated. If the badge is yellow, the review bots may need some help with interpreting the species interaction data. GloBI Index Badge If the dataset under review has been registered with GloBI, and has been succesfully indexed by GloBI, the GloBI Index Status Badge will turn green. This means that the dataset under review was indexed by GloBI and is available through GloBI services and derived data products.

Discussion This review and archive provides a means of creating citable versions of datasets that change frequently. This may be useful for dataset managers, including natural history collection data managers, as a backup archive of a shared Darwin Core archive. It also serves as a means of creating a trackable citation for the dataset in an automated way, while also including some information about the contents of the dataset. This review aims to provide a perspective on the dataset to aid in understanding of species interaction claims discovered. However, it is important to note that this review does not assess the quality of the dataset. Instead, it serves as an indication of the open-ness6 and FAIRness (Wilkinson et al. 2016; Trekels et al. 2023) of the dataset: to perform this review, the data was likely openly available, Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable. The current Open-FAIR assessment is qualitative, and a more quantitative approach can be implemented with specified measurement units. This report also showcases the reuse of machine-actionable (meta)data, something highly recommended by the FAIR Data Principles (Wilkinson et al. 2016). Making (meta)data machine-actionable enables more precise procesing by computers, enabling even naive review bots like Nomer and Elton to interpret the data effectively. This capability is crucial for not just automating the generation of reports, but also for facilitating seamless data exchanges, promoting interoperability.

Life on Earth is sustained by complex interactions between organisms and their environment. These biotic interactions can be captured in datasets and published digitally. We present a review and archiving process for such an openly accessible digital interactions dataset of known origin and discuss its outcome. The dataset under review, named globalbioticinteractions/dmns-para, has fingerprint hash://md5/debe93c2899017046219422eb22d1fbf, is 71.4MiB in size and contains 2,090 interactions with 3 unique types of associations (e.g., parasiteOf) between 64 primary taxa (e.g., Eumolpianus eumolpi) and 495 associated taxa (e.g., Tamias speciosus). This report includes detailed summaries of interaction data, a taxonomic review from multiple catalogs, and an archived version of the dataset from which the reviews are derived.
