Hi, if there is a demand in having the backbone as a SQL file we should maybe consider to provide one directly from GBIF ChecklistBanks relational model. Would a single table with all taxa be sufficient as a start or are vernacular names, images and other additional information key? I can probably supply a sql dump for the core taxonomy quickly, let me try.

Is I am more "pythonic" the idb-backend is easier to adapt for me. Thanks for showing me. I was hoping that someone already addressed the question as it seemed to me quite obviously to provide the data in a widely used format like sql. I have the feeling I am reenventing the wheel ;-) The "B-HIT" tool seems to be a reasonable alternative to get a the desired data into an sql data base.

Idea is to run on Heroku (e.g., once a day), resulting in a fresh SQLite version of the backbone taxonomy on Amazon S3.

This is mostly a collection of tab delimited text files with the accepted and synonym names at its core.

At the moment we are evaluating different taxonomic backbones to be used within our application. The GIBF taxonomic backbone seems to be an good choice in regards to quality, number of entries and acceptance. Due to the nature of our application, a web service to browse the taxonomy will not fulfil our requirements. A local copy of the GIBF data as SQL would be an ideal solution. I looked for this data publicly available to no avail. "Harvesting" the GBIF rest api seems not a good option. Are there plans to provide current taxonomic backbone data in the future? Maybe the data is already available, but I failed to find it yet.
