[Taxacom] taxonomic names databases

[Tony Rees]

Also (although I am maybe talking to no-one here...) addressing one of
Stephen's earlier concerns, Scratchpads has comments/forum features where
folk can question data on taxon pages (for example) and, with a well run
site, get responses and fixes as needed, as per these examples from the
Nannotax Scratchpad site (taxonomy + more for extant and fossil
coccolithophores):

http://ina.tmsoc.org/Nannotax3/ntax-recent_comments.php

I looked at this and was impressed as an example of successful use of the
interface between taxonomic/related data compilation and viewers of the
resulting pages.

Cheers - Tony
