生物学家用来标注他们所做的观察的名字是不精确的。这是一个问题，因为工作人员越来越多地寻求利用从多个无关的在线来源收集的数据。即使严格遵循国际命名法，由此产生的名称（分类单元名称）也不能唯一地识别分类学家所描述的分类单元（分类单元概念），而仅仅是模式标本组。描述了用于交换分类信息的标准数据模型。它通过促进有关分类群概念及其相关名称的信息的明确交流来解决这个问题。本文介绍了该模型的XML模式表示，并讨论了使用全局唯一标识符的含义。本文是OMICS数据标准特刊的一部分。
The names used by biologists to label the observations they make are imprecise. This is an issue as workers increasingly seek to exploit data gathered from multiple, unrelated sources on line. Even when the international codes of nomenclature are followed strictly the resulting names (Taxon Names) do not uniquely identify the taxa (Taxon Concepts) that have been described by taxonomists but merely groups of type specimens. A standard data model for exchange of taxonomic information is described. It addresses this issue by facilitating explicit communication of information about Taxon Concepts and their associated names. A representation of this model as a XML Schema is introduced and the implications of the use of Globally Unique Identifiers discussed.This paper is part of the special issue of OMICS on data standards.
