	Taxonomic Information Systems (TIS)
		One of the main benefits of integrated information systems is to expand considerably the use and re-use of biological or taxonomic data by broadening the community of users outside the traditional and limited circle of systematists.
		To accomplish this there is need to research and experiment in the creative application of emerging information technologies and in their integration as a foundation for progress and scientific advance.
		The studies is developing a Canadian Taxonomic Information System (CTIS) which will position the Centre as a key player in the research and development of large scale biological information systems, nationally and internationally.

		Species 2000 and the Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS) are involving taxonomists throughout the world in the Species 2000 and ITIS Catalogue of Life (CoL) programme, collating a uniform and validated index to the world's known species, for use as a practical tool in inventorying and monitoring biodiversity worldwide.
		The Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS) is a partnership of numerous organizations from the United States, Canada, and Mexico, and data stewards and experts from around the world (see http://www.itis.usda.gov, http//www.cbif.gc.ca/itis and http://siit.conabio.gob.mx).
		Species 2000 (http://www.sp2000.org) is an autonomous federation of taxonomic database custodians, involving taxonomists throughout the world in collating a uniform and validated index to the world's known species.

		The Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS) is a relational database of scientific and common names for plants and animals.
		There is a system that allows you to compare two lists of names if they are in the proper format.
		Information presumably will flow out from ITIS to groups like the public and science writers, people who want the correct name for an organism for a high-school report or a story they are writing.

		3]: the database of information; an on-line system, which allows access to and distribution of that information; a workbench, which is effectively the way we control the quality of the data and works as the interface between data development and the database; and then an organization and management infrastructure.
		We have a system of data stewards—that is people with particular expertise who are responsible for a particular taxonomic group.
		It's that process of moving data from the workbench into the on-line system where the taxonomic serial number is assigned and all the format and data quality verification is accomplished.

	Publications: ITIS and TRED Fact Sheet (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Further, the ability to refer to standardized taxonomic nomenclature (i.e., the names of species and other taxonomic groups) is a prerequisite for biological data sharing and comparison among different agencies and organizations.
		The goal of ITIS is to create an easily accessible, well-documented database with scientifically credible integrated information on species names and authors, their hierarchical classification, commonly used synonyms, vernacular names, species origin (native or introduced), and general distribution.
		Many of the taxonomic specialists who are represented in the TRED have participated or may be asked to participate in developing, reviewing, or updating the scientific information in the ITIS database.

	NODC Taxonomic Code
		Up to 1996, while it was in active use, the NODC Taxonomic Code was the largest, most flexible, and widely used of the various coding schemes which adapted the Linnean system of biological nomenclature to modern methods of data storage and retrieval.
		At the same time, relational database management systems were developed that enabled efficient searches and retrievals to be conducted without the need for taxonomic information to be built into the code.
		Their efforts were specifically oriented toward development of a universally acceptable coding system since, as they succinctly put it, they felt that "everyone [should] use the same code." The VIMS codes contained a maximum of 10 digits, with each two digits representing a different level of the systematic hierarchy.

	Environmental Information
		Nevertheless, the importance of taxonomy to biology and biologists is fundamental since it provides the foundation for understanding and integrating the similarities and differences among the worldís organisms, both living and extinct.
		The Integrated Taxonomic Information System http://www.itis.usda.gov/itis-- the product of this interagency effort -- is a readily accessible, scientifically credible, standardized source for scientific names and synonyms (as well as common names) of organisms in North America and its adjacent waters.
		The Fish and Wildlife Information* Exchange, which represents State fish and wildlife agencies across the country, is incorporating ITIS into a Web-based information system that, for the first time, links fish and wildlife databases across many states, using ITIS as the species name cross-reference.

		(Classification information retrieved Sept 18, 2002, from the Integrated Taxonomic Information System on-line database, http://www.itis.usda.gov.)
		The modern classification system originated with the Swedish botanist and physician Carl Linnaeus (1707-1778), and is based on works he published in 1735, 1753, and 1758.

	Integrated Taxonomic Information System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS) is a partnership designed to provide consistent and reliable information on the taxonomy of biological species.
		ITIS was originally formed in 1996 as an interagency group within the U.S. federal government, involving agencies from the Department of Commerce to the Smithsonian Institution.
		Its information should be checked against other sources where these are available, and against the primary research scientific literature where possible.
