Abstract

Taxonomically accurate and well documented biological information are essential for scientific identification and management of organisms. Incorrect identifications which are based on low quality and incorrect literature can significantly impede ecological studies. In this article, we discuss the challenges faced in creating repositories for taxonomic classification, focusing on the differences in classification in several fish-related databases, and propose ways to overcome taxonomic problems. Taxonomic classification for some known ontologies is also discussed i comparison to the Fish Ontology scheme, an ontology for automated recognition of fish species using taxonomic classification.
