  1. EDIT WP8.1.1 Overview of Taxonomy courses. Tue, 12/04/2007 - 16:46

    The present link is a listing of the existing training resources for taxonomy collected by the European Distributed Institute of Taxonomy (EDIT, Workpackage 8 - Training and Public Awareness)

  2. AnimalBase Wed, 10/17/2007 - 09:43

    The AnimalBase database is primarily established to link the old literature with the names of the animals described therein. We have continuously gone through the old works, from 1757 onwards, and entered all correctly described new animal names (genera and species taxa) by hand according to a standard established by our working group.

    Today the database should include all zoological taxa described from 1757 until 1770. The names are entered into the database along the original literature and largely independently from other databases and secondary literature sources, so that errors will not be duplicated.

  3. Berlin Model v2.0 Wed, 10/17/2007 - 09:40

    The Berlin Model is based on the IOPI model and various later implementations of the basic principles laid out therein. It fully incorporates "potential taxa" (taxa as circumscribed by a reference) as well as the full complexity of botanical names according to the rules of botanical nomenclature. Actually the Berlin Model is implemented as a SQL Server 2000 database. Please contact us for any question or comment.

  4. Tolkin Wed, 07/09/2008 - 14:00

    TOLKIN is an on-line research tool to be shared among several laboratories working remotely. It is an information management and analytical web application to provide informatics support for phylodiversity and biodiversity research projects. As a web-based application, TOLKIN is able to support collaborative projects by providing shared access to a variety of data on voucher specimens, taxonomy, bibliography, morphology, DNA samples and sequences.

  6. UBio NameBank Thu, 01/17/2008 - 17:40

    NameBank is a registry for all recorded taxon names.

    NameBank is a biological name server. It stores and serves NameBankIDs via Life Science Identifiers, a persistent and distinct identifier. Each NameBank LSID returns a NameBank object which contains information about the NameBank record.

     

    It stores and qualifies recorded taxon names, providing an index for all name-annotated content. NameBank serves as a foundational layer for a name-based informatics infrastructure.

     

    The basic unit of NameBank is the NameBank record which is referenced by a unique and persistentNameBankID. NameBank records are like index cards, recording basic metadata about specific distinct name string concepts. NameBank records form reconcilation groups based on objectively derived inter-relationships.
