Motivation

[edit]

According to the Index to Organism Names (Q85769261) website, "ION contains millions of animal names, both fossil and recent, at all taxonomic ranks, reported from the scientific literature. (Bacteria, plant and virus names will be added soon). These names are derived from premier Clarivate Analytics databases: Zoological Record®, BIOSIS Previews®, and Biological Abstracts®. All names are tied to at least one published article. Together, these resources cover every aspect of the life sciences - providing names from over 4 million scientific records, including approximately 15,000 international journals, patents, books, and conference proceedings. They provide a powerful foundation for the most complete collection of organism names available today. When you search for a name on ION, your results include: Basic nomenclatural and hierarchical information; Original description reference and related articles from Clarivate Analytics databases with links to citations via Web of Science; Related, evaluated Web resources." This would be a valuable property to have in Wikidata for taxon names. UWashPrincipalCataloger (talk) 22:59, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
