Thanks, all, for the responses. The "Compare to ITIS" function does
just what I want. I did a test run of 1000 names and it worked like a
charm. I will need to do a little massaging because sometimes two or
more ITIS IDs come back for each uBio ID. But I can handle that.<br>

All this ubio talk makes me think we were on to something. Worth a thought about adopting the new stnadrds and tools and making it really smooth.

<pre wrap="">I have generated a csv spreadsheet of about 39 000 plant names for the
U.S. which has the ITIS TSNIDs for the names in a column. I would like
to have the uBio Namebank IDs in another column of the table. I have
been looking them up on the uBio website by typing in the names as I
need to know the IDs, but after doing about 300 of them, I'm getting
tired of it. Does anybody have a clever idea of a way to get the other
38 000 Namebank IDs without looking them up. I'm sure that it would be
possible to find this out because uBio gets names from ITIS. However, I
haven't seen any clues about how to do it in an automated fashion. I'm
guessing that there might be some way to use the uBio web services, but
if so, it isn't obvious and I probably don't have the skills to carry it
out anyway.
Any ideas?
Steve
