Hi,
based on the CLB data model https://github.com/gbif/checklistbank/blob/master/docs/schema.pdf I have created a tab delimited text dump (1.2GB uncompressed) from the following statement:
SELECT u.id, u.parent_fk, u.basionym_fk, u.ishttp://u.is_synonym, u.status, u.rank, u.nom_status, u.constituent_key, u.origin, u.source_taxon_key, u.kingdom_fk, u.phylum_fk, u.class_fk, u.order_fk, u.family_fk, u.genus_fk, u.species_fk, n.id as name_id, n.scientific_name, n.canonical_name, n.genus_or_above, n.specific_epithet, n.infra_specific_epithet, n.notho_type, n.authorship, n.year, n.bracket_authorship, n.bracket_year, cpi.citation as name_published_in, u.issues FROM name_usage u JOIN name n ON u.name_fk=n.id LEFT JOIN citation cpi ON u.name_published_in_fk=cpi.id WHERE u.dataset_key=nubKey() and u.deleted IS NULL;
The gzipped tab file is hosted here: http://rs.gbif.org/datasets/backbone/backbone-current.txt.gz
You should be able to import that into most relational dbs but for sure into postgres with a table DDL like this (also attached):
CREATE TABLE backbone ( id int PRIMARY KEY, parent_key int, basionym_key int, is_synonym boolean, status text, rank text, nom_status text[], constituent_key text, origin text, source_taxon_key int,
kingdom_key int, phylum_key int, class_key int, order_key int, family_key int, genus_key int, species_key int,
name_id int, scientific_name text, canonical_name text, genus_or_above text, specific_epithet text, infra_specific_epithet text, notho_type text, authorship text, year text, bracket_authorship text, bracket_year text,
name_published_in text, issues text[] )
If this format is of interest to a wider community I will make it available for every new backbone version we produce.
Best, Markus

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.

Hi,
I already looked at both of the git project. Looks interesting. 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. In case you are interested, have a look here: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/283543150_B-HIT_-_A_Tool_for_Harves... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4636251/

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. You can find the latest and previous, archived versions here: http://rs.gbif.org/datasets/backbone/

Hi,
we are developing an application to curate taxonomic and morphological data for scientists. 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.
