XIV TDWG - Firenze / 2013-11-01

classifications are stored in a relational database

elements

names - atomized name stringsconnected to external sources ( IPNI/Tropicos/...)

references - published literature (persons) / working listslinked to digital content via DOIs (publishers) or PURLs (BHL)

accepted taxa - incl. homo- and heterotypic synonyms and (inferred) basionym references

only accepted taxa used for linking up children with parents

Service based architecture

Served through REST service Interfaces with responses in JSON(P) format.

The Services are part of the JACQ database System, which is available as an OpenSource package on sourceforge.net http://sourceforge.net/projects/jacq/

Visualisation is provided using a jsTree (which is a jQuery based tree browser). The jsTree is directly connected to the service endpoints. This yields a layered software architecture, which is independent of the underlying database system.

Future

Future enhancements to the classification browser will include a pre-rendering of classifications. This means that the strictly relational scheme will be pre-calculated into a faster structure, which yields a intentional information loss in order to provide citable (and therefore revision save) references to classifications through state of the art web Interfaces.
