The document discusses improving the scalability and standardization of taxon name identification and disambiguation APIs. The current API has limitations and depends on a single source. A new proposed API would [1] take plain text as input and return possible name strings and offsets, separating name identification from ID resolution. It would [2] allow multiple name resolution services to integrate via a standard specification. The next steps are to [3] finalize the API specifications and build out services according to the new framework.
