<p>Global Biotic Interactions: Taxon Cache and Taxon Map</p>
<p>Global Biotic Interactions (GloBI) provides access to existing species interaction datasets (Poelen et al. 2014, http://globalbioticinteractions.org). As part of the dataset integration and aggregation, a best effort is made to resolve, match and link taxonomic names and associated vernacular/common names, hierarchies and thumbnails. </p>
<p>The data archives included in this publication contain established taxonomic links (taxonMap.tsv.gz) and taxonomic information (taxonCache.tsv.gz) that GloBI retrieved and integrated from taxonomic name sources and web services associated with http://itis.gov, http://globalnames.org, http://eol.org and others open data services. </p>
<p>While GloBI is not a naming authority and the primary goal of the name matching process is to detect incorrect or outdates names, the archives may serve as an example of how to publish denormalized taxonomic records and their interrelatioships in a pragmatic way.</p>
