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/bionomenclature/
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
