This task is easily enough stated, but it is demanding to put into operation. Classifications are nearly always subject to dispute and taxonomists hold to differing taxonomic concepts. A major requirement of any web revision will be to develop a website that represents a current, refereed consensus classification with adequate representation of competing views. This sociological component may be the most difficult part of getting web revisions produced and posted. The final area of work is to examine the several implications of publishing in the web environment.
Can taxonomists come together to speak with one voice while retaining the differences and dialogue that characterize a vibrant scientific discipline? If the taxonomic community’s answer to this question is yes–even a qualified yes–then we as a discipline have a vibrant and intellectually stimulating future. But if the answer is no, I fear we are on the way out, just like Gaston and May’s (1992) newly discovered species of lemur. In this chapter I will not provide a blueprint for how taxonomists should work together as teams, but instead would like to explore some of the challenges for taxonomy as we settle into a new century and a new way of working.
There are many commonalities in taxonomic revisionary work of any group of organisms, whether or not covered by different codes of nomenclature. Second, it is necessary to define what is needed from the Internet platform on which a web revision is to be based. This work is being carried out in close conjunction with the work package dedicated to constructing the platform. The third task is one of management. For each taxon for which a collaborative web revision is to be constructed, it is intended that an international working group is set up to run an expert network of specialists on the group.
