Scientific names of organisms are the key to biodiversity information, because all observations, as well as experimental and specimen data are linked to them. Fast and easy access to correct and accepted algal names is one of the main information requirement for algal research and in accordance with the demands of the International Code of Nomenclature for Algae, Fungi, and Plants. Whereas for bacteria, animals, fungi, and higher plants in terms of scope and data-quality different registration approaches exist, no solution for algae has been established. To overcome these shortcomings an infrastructure project, tailored for both, community needs and scientific use and reuse of biodiversity data has been planned.The first objective is designing, developing, and sustainably implementing an on-line registration system for newly published algal names and their nomenclatural types to become part of an international system for the nomenclatural registration of organism names. A web-based user interface will allow direct data entry for new names and types data, standardized and checked by authorized personnel. A machine interface will provide the possibility of automatic registration for participating electronic journals. A web-interface for scientific end users will allow various queries to find registered names. The second objective is to complement this system by a prototype of a Taxonomic Index to Algal Names. The focus will be on achieving as much coverage of published names and their nomenclatural data as possible, thus supporting data quality in the registration process. The data content will be acquired either by a process of indexing partner databases or by importing information using the Common Data Model for the index. The data portal software and the service layer of the EDIT Platform will be used for human and machine access. All project results will be documented and made available as open source.

生物的学名是生物多样性信息的关键，因为所有的观察以及实验和标本数据都与它们有关。根据《国际藻类、真菌和植物命名法》的要求，快速方便地获取正确和公认的藻类名称是藻类研究的主要信息需求之一。对于细菌、动物、真菌和高等植物，在范围和数据质量方面存在不同的注册方法，而对于藻类，还没有建立解决方案。为了克服这些缺点，已经计划了一个适合社区需求和生物多样性数据的科学使用和再利用的基础设施项目。第一个目标是设计、开发和可持续地实施新发布的藻类名称及其命名类型的在线注册系统，以成为生物名称命名注册国际系统的一部分。基于网络的用户界面将允许直接输入新的名称和类型数据，并由授权人员进行标准化和检查。机器界面将为参与的电子期刊提供自动登记的可能性。一个面向科学最终用户的网络界面将允许各种查询来查找已注册的名称。第二个目标是通过藻类名称分类索引的原型来补充这个系统。重点将是尽可能多地覆盖已发表的名称及其命名数据，从而支持注册过程中的数据质量。数据内容可以通过索引合作伙伴数据库的过程获得，也可以通过使用用于索引的公共数据模型导入信息获得。数据门户软件和EDIT平台的服务层将用于人和机器的访问。所有的项目结果都将被记录下来，并作为开源提供。
