Maybe this has to be put into its own separate thread, but as it relates
to MySQL anyway, here at
http://www.ekoinf.net/TxNav/
is a new dirty application of mine (released last weak, just before the
e-biosphere09 event in London) to explore the Catalogue of Life
taxonomic database. It is open source, so the dirty internals and the
code is not encrypted. So far this is the only application for
exploration of the Catalogue of Life on Mac.
The CaO database aims at collecting names and taxonomy of ALL living
species on our planet (plants, fungi, insects, fish, viruses, bacteria,
etc, etc). It has already accumulated 1 160 711 species which is more
than half of all species known for science today. However if you dive in
the coral reef you may see dozens of invertebrates that are not yet
formally identified or described, so the numbers of unknown species are
also very big numbers. The ISO image of the database can be downloaded
from http://www.sp2000.org/. Database is in MySQL format.
Best wishes
Viktoras
