ECAT Name Finder Description: A simple html client to the name finding webservices hosted at GBIF. These indexing services try to locate and extract scientific names within a text document. The global names architecture (GNA) has defined a standard Name Finding API that our services adhere to. Currently we are hosting 2 finding services using different algorithms that you can use with the client: 1. uBio's TaxonFinder: A service wrapping the original uBio TaxonFinder. 2. Lucene Name Indexer: A java implementation based on Apache Lucene by GBIF that consume documents in many file formats. This service is still considered experimental Abstract: GBIF Secretariat Author(s):GBIF Secretariat, Contributor(s): 2009-01 Names and Taxonomy English http://tools.gbif.org/namefinder/ application/msword http://www.gbif.org/orc/?doc_id=2436 Tool Requests related to this metadata record should be addressed to the Global Biodiversity Information Facility Secretariat, gbif@gbif.org, +4535321470 Rights: Right holders: GBIF Secretariat
