Hi Natasha,
Thank for the great help. This solution will solve our needs perfectly.
Best Regards.

Hi Allan,
We would provide a DwCA with the Catalogue of Life species in it. Yes,
you will need to add your species to this file in the same format. If you
want your species to be merged into the Catalogue of life hierarchy you
will need to provide appropriate parentIds.
We would provide a tool within the ala-name-matching (available as a jar
file in our maven repository) to generate a list based on a DwCA. You would
need to run the tool pointing at your modified DwCA.
We will let you know when this is available.
Hope that this all makes sense.
Regards
Natasha

Hi Natasha,
It would be great. We have 109 species that we need to include in the
current name matching index.
It would be great if you send me a DwC-A with CoL names. I will need just
to add these 109 species in that archive in the same format, right?
How will work this proposed solution?
Will you provide a souce code, a compiled program (JAR) or we will send to
you the DwC-A and you will generate the Lucene index?
Thank you very much for helping.
Best regards,
