Schematic representation of the name verification and taxonomic status determination process. The existence of a particular name in one of the databases (@EOL, TPL and COL) is considered as verification. After a name is found or alternative names (LD = Levenshtein Distance) are available, the taxonomic status is determined by considering the number of times a name was found (ambiguous if more than one result was returned) and the status returned by the database. The result is saved in a scientific name collection which is used to evaluate taxonomic status discrepancies and to compile a unique name list for further information retrieval (i.e. conservation state @IUCN Red List and invasiveness reports @GISIN and @DAISIE).
