Scientific Name Extraction
• TaxonFinder algorithm in production since 2008– More than 100 million candidate name strings– More than 1.5 million unique, verified names– Available through UI, APIs, Data Exports & Internet
Archive• New collaboration with Global Names
– Improved algorithm, better precision & recall– More data with TaxonFinder and Neti Neti!
For me a future Flora/Fauna/Mycota should…
allow me to provide and harvest marked up content with names
of people & organizations, places, taxa,specimens, illustrations, coordinates, citations, tables of context and indexes.
