Dear TDWG-ers
FYI
I'd like to announce the publication of an updated edition of Terms Used in Bionomenclature, compiled by Prof. David Hawksworth. This is a glossary of over 2,100 terms used in biological nomenclature - the naming of whole organisms of all kinds. The glossary is available in print-ready PDF format as well as via an online web application that can be browsed, searched, and output in HTML, JSON and RDF to support re-use and referencing. GBIF is also producing a limited number of paper copies of the glossary which will be available at GBIF-supported meetings and events. The web application supports the development of controlled vocabularies using resolvable identifiers for nomenclatural terms.
More information and links to the PDF and web versions can be found on the glossary home page at
http://www.gbif.org/communications/resources/print-and-online-resources/bion...
The web application is online at http://bionomenclature-glossary.gbif.org/
I'm happy to field comments on the implementation and pass on comments regarding the content to David Hawksworth.
Kind regards, David Remsen
