Editor's Notes
- I was digitising resources like this gem – beautiful plates and lots of nice metadata to index them with. The only problem was that the only really useful biological metadata was the scientific name that labeled each picture. Had I only known what I was getting into.
- This is another early digitisation project. A seminal work. Only the name is spelled incorrectly or at least incorrectly according to todays spelling. I cant change the spelling in the source so what can I do about it? At the time I was short on ideas.
- Pictures and specimens and gene sequences are labelled with names like this. Eventually I learned these are all different forms of the same name. For various reasons, however, different sources often prefer to retain their versions of the name.
- This paper contains historic catch and distribution data. But the name represents a combination that is no longer in use. How can we retrieve historic information on species where the name has changed from what is in use today?
- In 1999, the fungus responsible for causing one of the major causes of death in people with HIV was renamed, following a split of the species. This requires those who work on this disease to be aware of the new name in order to access information related to the species.
- Here is a map showing a distribution of data related to hummingbirds. It is assembled because we have a taxonomic authority source that specifies all the names of the species within the hummingbird family. As a result the map is an accurate representation (aside from some stray data with clear geospatial issues).
- Without access to sufficient authoritative taxonomic data, we have been forced to rely on less-accurate classification data originating in occurrence datasets. These datasets often contain errors such as illustrated here where a European bird species was mistakenly placed in the hummingbird family.
- This outreach extends to a new suite of data publishing guides and tools that provide details on data formats, checklist metadata, and checklist publishing tools.
- In 2011 the number of taxonomic authority files published through the network has doubled thanks to promotional efforts within the GBIF network and partnerships that include other taxonomic initiatives.
