Cowan, R.A.ORCID: 0000-0003-0417-2208 (1998) Nomenclatural databases. In: Biodiversity, Biotechnology & Biobusiness - 2nd Asia-Pacific Conference on Biotechnology, 23 - 27 November 1998, Perth, Western Australia

Abstract

The definition of nomenclature differs from dictionary to dictionary but suffice to say a nomenclatural database will deal with the name of an organism and the specimens that bring information regarding the name. There are a number of databases that will be discussed during the session all of which supply the information about the name. These databases have a number of things in common but not all will supply the information necessary for nomenclatural decisions. I will discuss the types of databases available and indicate what type of information can be found within them.
