4.4.03 Step 2 Taxonomy checks part 1

This step will select all processes regarding finding and generating cross check taxonomic data.

• TNRS_QUERY: This process uses the Taxonomic Name Resolution Service (TNRS) web service (http://tnrs.iplantcollaborative.org/) to validate occurrence data taxonomy.
• TAXONDSTAND_QUERY: This process uses R package "Taxonstand", to validate occurrence data taxonomy in comparison with "The Plant List" (http://www.theplantlist.org).
• GRIN_QUERY: This process uses the GRIN Taxonomy service (http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/index.pl) to validate occurrence data

NOTE

In the log area, REVIEW_DATA, a .csv file is created which permits visualization of the taxonomic data, TNRS, TaxStand, and GRIN results.

You must have TaxonStand R code installed in order to run the query.
