6 what occurs where? why is it there? why does it not occur in some other places? has it been there before? will it be there in the future? are there other places it could occur?

12 n a m e s

13 scientific name: Homo sapiens Linnaeus, 1758 genus namespecific epithetauthority year of publication

14 names are labels for species

15 Aa paleacea Limulus polyphemus Kiwa hirsuta Osedax frankpressi Kingia australis Pieris japponica Pieris rapae Trypanosoma brucei Homo sapiens

16 names annotate data objects

17

18 names form the basis for an index to search for and organize the totality of biological content

19 Streptosyllis

20 names are inconsistent labels for species

21 p r o b l e m s

22 1 one name has more than one meaning

23 Aotus trivirgatus Aotus Illiger 1811 Aotus Aotus Smith 1805 Aotus ericoides.

24 2 many names for the same organism

30 disambiguation & reconciliation

31 1 one name has more than one meaning disambiguation = distinguish between different organisms with the same name

32 Aotus monkey primate feet eyes vertebrate plant Fabaceae leaves flowers Australia

33 2 many names for the same organism reconciliation = group names with the same meaning together

34 VERNACULAR NAMES Gorilla English Mountain Gorilla English Eastern Gorilla English Eastern lowland gorilla English Gorille des plaines orientales French Grauer’s gorilla English Горилла Russian Gorila Spanish Bergsgorilla German Låglandsgorilla Swedish Bwindi Kinyarwanda Virunga Kinyarwanda 大猩猩 Chinese ゴリラ Japanese OBJECTIVE SYNONYMS Gorilla beringei Gorilla beringei Matschie, 1902 Gorilla beringei mikenensis Lönnberg, 1917 MISSPELLINGS, SPELLING VARIATIONS,… Gorilla ber e ngei Gorilla beringei Matschie, 190 5 G ue rilla g ue rilla G. graueri Matschie G. graueri M. 1914 SUBJECTIVE SYNONYMS Gorilla graueri Matschie, 1914 Gorilla beringei graueri (Matschie, 1914) Gorilla gorilla

36 NameBank over 10 million names ClassificationBank over 100 different classifications

37 b u t : no classification has all names many names are not placed yet into any classification

38 EOL needs all names to be able to index and show all content

39 U N I O N

40 collect ALL names use an existing classification provide editing & annotation tools insert all names involve experts

41 indexing and navigational core of EoL comprehensive – all names taxonomically intelligent access to multiple classifications communal always evolving, always current

42 names-based cyber-infrastructure
