Version we provide a few tools with a different focus: The new backbone is available for preview Genera in IRMNG - and thus in the backbone - that are hardly usedĪnywhere, creating confusion and many empty genera without any species Relying purely on IRMNG for homonyms meant that homonyms which were.(Backeb.)

The very first taxonomy that GBIF used was based on the Catalogue of Names between different checklist datasets. That we use to inform our systems when creating maps, providing metrics orĮven when you do a plain occurrence search. The Taxonomic Backbone provides a single classification and a synonymy That have just been described a week before the data is indexed at Names, extinct taxa and (due to advanced digital publishing) even names Have the broadest coverage of names possible. May come from all possible, often outdated, taxonomies, it is important to We are therefore seeking feedbackĪnd help to discover oddities of the new backbone.Įvery occurrence record in GBIF is matched to a taxon in the backbone.īecause occurrence records in GBIF cover the whole tree of life and names Taxonomies with 4 - 5 million names each. Initially, but it is quite hard to evaluate all the changes between 2 large We would like to release the new taxonomy rather soon and Process to build a new backbone which we aim to run on a regular, probably The work is rather complex and tries to establish an automated We have been working onĪ replacement for some time and are pleased to introduce a preview in this The taxonomy employed by GBIF for organising all occurrences into aĬonsistent view has remained unchanged since 2013.
