不言而喻，当代生物科学已经成为一项由数据库驱动的努力，范围从服务于广泛社区的数据库(如Genbank)到更专业的数据库。我们以前已经争论过(Rosselló-Móra 2012；Sutcliffe et al.(2012年)指出，建立一个关于古生物和细菌物种的迭代分类数据库将大大有助于古生物和细菌系统学，这将为物种特征信息提供一个总结性和不断演变的储存库，例如通常在新属和新物种描述的原始文中找到的那些信息。事实上，这样的数据库将是对真菌分类学中的一项类似倡议--MycoBank的一个受欢迎的补充(Robert等人。2013)，以及重要的微生物命名和鉴定数据库，例如
It is self-evident that contemporary biological science has become a database-driven endeavour, ranging from databases serving broad communities (such as Genbank) to those that are more specialised. We have argued previously (Rosselló-Móra 2012; Sutcliffe et al. 2012) that it would greatly benefit Archaeal and Bacterial systematics to create an iterative taxonomic database of Archaeal and Bacterial species, which would provide a summative and evolving repository for information on species characteristics, such as those typically found in the protologues of descriptions of novel genera and species. Indeed, such a database would be a welcome complement to MycoBank, a comparable initiative in fungal taxonomy (Robert et al. 2013), and important databases of microbial nomenclature and identification such as
