TaxonWorks is in its infancy. Read the whitepaper (comment on it if you wish) at [1].
Matt,
Per our discussion about preproposal rounds coming in January, I think we should have a dense paragraph ready for use by potential collaborators. It should be in the wiki. Here's a first stab at an outline.
• TaxonWorks, the new standard for taxonomic workbench tools • Why TaxonWorks o stable endowment supported o Unified workbench (specimens, character matrices, keys, publication ready output) concept: Species File, MX, 3i o Software group of Illinois Natural History Survey, University of Illinois o Built in a collaborative Ruby codebase o 6 full time staff for development, debugging, hardware maintenance o Meets current data standards (DwC, TDWG…) o Internet based o Global data sharing: CoL, GBIF (DwC-A), ITIS, EoL • Provide MX for short-term use • Migrate to TaxonWorks in 2015
