Hi Chris,
<div class="">the latest GBIF backbone is always available as a Darwin Core archive. This is mostly a collection of tab delimited text files with the accepted and synonym names at its core.</div>
<div class="">You can find the latest and previous, archived versions here:</div>

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