Looks at the effort of several groups, especially the Global Bioinformation Diversity Facility, to catalog the world's biodiversity and make it accessible via databases. This work covers such technology as DNA barcoding and its applications, computer-assisted species identification, digital morphology, and E-typification.

A Fresh Look at Taxonomy The most fundamental of all biological sciences, taxonomy underpins any long term strategies for reconstructing the great tree of life or salvaging as much biodiversity as possible. Initiatives reinventing taxonomy for the Internet age are leading to a resurgence in this once declining discipline. In this volume we witness the emergence of cybertaxonomy, a convergence of descriptive taxonomy with information science and computer engineering. Featuring a new paradigm of international teamwork, The New Taxonomy presents a roadmap for confronting the biodiversity crisis. Some have seen the confusion of pattern and process that followed Huxley''s 1940 The New Systematics as the beginning of decline for support of taxonomy. In this answer to Huxley, contemporary taxonomists reclaim the unique mission, goals and importance of taxonomy as an independent science.
