Hi Everyone,
I have been doing some work on a TaxonAPI. This is a high/low definition
of the kind of thing I believe people publishing taxonomic data need to
produce and people consuming it need to eat based on the work I have
been involved in on TCS.
It is framed as if it were a web service type of thing but I imagine
that each of the method calls mentioned could equate to a Tapir template
of some kind. I imagine a template containing a parameterized filter
(not sure if those exist anymore).
This is still work in progress as I need to define the list of
parameters more closely and sort the greater than/less than issue for
dates and a few other bits. Plus no one has seen it to comment on!
You can read more about it here:

I would be most grateful for your comments.
How does this fit with Tapir?
Roger
