Improving the Governance of Species Lists

这个项目的目的是为分类列表的创建开发一个管理系统。该项目期望将其他科学组织如何管理自己的知识应用到分类清单的管理中，估计当前效率低下的成本，并确定改进的障碍。该项目的预期成果包括一个确认全球物种名单的过程。这将带来巨大的好处，例如可以在任何规模上采用的单一物种清单，并易于在各国和应用之间进行比较。一份单一的名单将确保受威胁物种和那些需要隔离或健康关注的物种不会被遗漏并造成问题。

The aim of this project is to develop a system of governance for the creation of taxonomic lists. This project expects to apply knowledge of how other science organizations govern themselves to the governance of taxonomic lists, estimate the costs of current inefficiencies and identify impediments to improvement. Expected outcomes of this project include a process for validating global lists of species. This should provide significant benefits, such as single lists of species that can be adopted at any scale and are readily comparable across countries and applications. A single list will ensure threatened species and those of quarantine or health concern don’t fall through the cracks and cause problems.
