Conflict detection for integration of taxonomic data sources

Conflict detection for integration of taxonomic data sources
Conflict detection for integration of taxonomic data sources

The LITCHI project aims to assist biologists in the integration of database by searching for conflicts within taxonomix checklists. In order to detect such conflicts, a formal model of taxonomic practice has been created and used as the basis for a prototype tool that uses Prolog search for naming conflicts within a relational database of checklists. The prototype tool is already proving its worth by detecting conflicts and errors within real taxonomic checklists.

Abstract

The LITCHI project aims to assist biologists in the integration of database by searching for conflicts within taxonomix checklists. In order to detect such conflicts, a formal model of taxonomic practice has been created and used as the basis for a prototype tool that uses Prolog search for naming conflicts within a relational database of checklists. The prototype tool is already proving its worth by detecting conflicts and errors within real taxonomic checklists.
