wikidata [1] [2] has "few" species with links to many other databases like

* plazi.org list taxonomic treatment (~ species description) found in journals, papers using OCR when needed.

* gbif.org list specimens (and other things) using normalized datasets provided by various institutions (including Plazi).

one process among many others : some algorithms run by GBIF find potential matches between species and specimens, with some human curation, we can link between a specimen and the related papers.
