DiversityTaxonNames
DiversityTaxonNames (DTN) is an application component of the database framework Diversity Workbench. It might be installed as part of a DWB environment, but also be used as a stand-alone application, e. g., in a local installation. Each DWB module is devoted to a specific data domain.
DiversityTaxonNames is focused on the management of taxon names. Next to nomenclatural information on zoological, botanical, mycological, palaeontological, bacteriological taxon names like typification with type specimens, homotypic synonyms, basionyms, protologues and references according to the rules of the respective International Codes, it is designed to document taxonomic information. This includes accepted names (current names), heterotypic synonyms, name concepts and classifications as well as the history of changing taxonomic relations. Type specimens might be linked from the module DiversityCollection. DTN is also used to organise common names in various languages and national as well as regional taxon checklists with information on red list status and other taxon-based (ecological and nature conservation) parameters. The data managed in DiversityTaxonNames are directly connected to taxon names. Data of other realms like, e. g., specimens and observations, references, media data are handled in separate modules. For an overview of the available modules see the Diversity Workbench Main Page.
For download of test versions check DiversityTaxonNames clients for beta testing.
DiversityTaxonNames installations build the database backbone for the DTN REST Web service for Regionalised and Domain-specific Taxon Lists.
