#taxonomy

1 post1 participant0 posts today

Who's working the most higher-order #classification systems of things in the world? Systematics in biology work on classifying all living things. Every field has their own classification systems. Is there a field that integrates those classification systems to create a "taxonomy of everything"? When I search for that concept I'm pointed towards people working on #SemanticWeb - I'm curious if there are any good sources out there to read up on, especially actual attempts/examples! #taxonomy

#BiotaNZ is NZ's database for taxonomy and info on bacteria, fungi, land invertebrates and plants. I realised they have an #RSS service. I can subscribe and see all names updates as they are made. There's a filter to just provide updates to the taxonomic group you're most interested in.

It sounds useful. Never again be embarrassed in front of your friends using an out-of-date NZ scientific name! 😄

See "RSS Feeds" on the Help page.
