Some species-focused databases attempt to compile comprehensive data about particular species , while others focus on particular species attributes, such as checklists of species in a given area (FEOW) or the conservation status of species (CITES or IUCN Red List). Nomenclators act as summaries of taxonomic revisions and set a key between ...
The Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) is an international organisation that focuses on making scientific data on biodiversity available via the Internet using web services. [1] The data are provided by many institutions from around the world; GBIF's information architecture makes these data accessible and searchable through a ...
The Catalogue of Life (CoL) is an online database that provides an index of known species of animals, plants, fungi, and microorganisms.It was created in 2001 as a partnership between the global Species 2000 and the American Integrated Taxonomic Information System.
Taxonomic databases digitize scientific biodiversity data and provide access to taxonomic data for research. [1] Taxonomic databases vary in breadth of the groups of taxa and geographical space they seek to include, for example: beetles in a defined region, mammals globally, or all described taxa in the tree of life.
