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 : Stephens, P. R., Pappalardo, P. , Huang, S. , Byers, J. E., Farrell, M. J., Gehman, A. , Ghai, R.

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/global-primate-parasite-database, has fingerprint hash://md5/2fc97fc9d07af48d03aa013f136395ca, is 3.34MiB in size and contains 7,713 interactions with 1 unique type of association (e.g., parasiteOf) between 858 primary taxa (e.g., Trichuris sp.) and 185 associated taxa (e.g., Pan troglodytes). 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.

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. Sample of Name Alignments providedName relationName resolvedCatalogName resolvedName Acanthocheilonema HAS_ACCEPTED_NAME col Acanthocheilonema Achromobacter denitrificans HAS_ACCEPTED_NAME col Achromobacter denitrificans Achromobacter HAS_ACCEPTED_NAME col Achromobacter Acinetobacter lwoffii HAS_ACCEPTED_NAME col Acinetobacter lwoffii Distribution of Taxonomic Ranks of Aligned Names by Catalog. 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 428 col family 8 col genus 195 col infraorder 1 col order 3 col species 371 col subgenus 1 col subspecies 9 discoverlife NA 1015 gbif NA 456 gbif family 8 gbif genus 185 gbif order 1 gbif species 382 gbif subspecies 7 itis NA 658 itis family 6 itis genus 107 itis order 3 itis species 233 itis subspecies 7 itis superfamily 1 mdd NA 1015 ncbi NA 488 ncbi biotype 1 ncbi family 8 ncbi genus 177 ncbi order 2 ncbi species 332 ncbi subgenus 4 ncbi suborder 1 ncbi subspecies 4 ncbi superfamily 2 pbdb NA 826 pbdb family 1 pbdb genus 39 pbdb species 149 tpt NA 794 tpt genus 29 tpt species 192 wfo NA 1009 wfo genus 6 worms NA 804 worms family 8 worms genus 138 worms order 3 worms species 60 worms superfamily 2 Name relationship types per catalog.

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/global-primate-parasite-database, has fingerprint hash://md5/2fc97fc9d07af48d03aa013f136395ca, is 3.34MiB in size and contains 7,713 interactions with 1 unique type of association (e.g., parasiteOf) between 858 primary taxa (e.g., Trichuris sp.) and 185 associated taxa (e.g., Pan troglodytes). 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.
