The document discusses lessons learned from the Bionomia Project about making links between information sources sticky and sustainable. Key lessons include listening to users' needs and expectations for each link and adapting while respecting the source of information. It also emphasizes giving proper attribution and credit to people who contribute information, even if they are deceased, by pulling identification information from ORCID and Wikidata. The document advocates identifying shared metadata across infrastructures to improve discoverability and finding minimal metadata needed for basic searches.
