How to resolve NatureServe and GBIF names #900
Comments
Off the top of my head, I don't know of a way, but I have not looked closely at those two formats closely with that problem in mind. I have thought about the general problem of correlating different taxonomies in the past and never came up with a good solution. I will try to give it some more thought and get back to you if I come up with anything. |

Sort of a vague "how do we do this better?" question, but wondering how to use taxize to resolve differing taxonomies in NatureServe and GBIF, specifically when species names are 1:1 but maybe a genus was lumped or split in one taxonomy (looks like the cases I'm seeing, NatureServe is faster to adopt new conventions than ITIS and GBIF). I've written up a few examples here: https://stackoverflow.com/q/74032178/8400969. Is there a smooth way to link synonymous names between NatureServe and GBIF, or is this a tricky case-by-case kind of problem?
Thanks!
