ZooBank

zoobank.JPG

I wrote about ZooBank in March:

...a group called the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN) at London's Natural History Museum has begun planning a definitive, open-access, web-based catalogue of species - the comprehensive, peer-reviewed Wikipedia of all living things scientists have discovered. The project is called ZooBank.

Today, "Peter" left a message on the article. It reads,
We have launched ZooBank today (www.zoobank.org).

What a great tool for biologists of all stripes. I had to share.

Outstanding! Thank you for posting, Wulf. I definitely plan to check out this database. It's about time someone sat down and really put together a quality source of information like this. From what I understand, most of the best info up till now has only been available in print form. The net hasn't really made a major effort in this direction. So, I guess this means I'll have to brush up on my Latin for taxonomists, huh? Thanks a lot, Carolus!
