Hi Scott,
yes, thats the idea. It didn't get picked up though, so I am not sure if there are any shortnames in existence that can act as an alias for a dataset.
nub, itis, col were supposed to be such shortnames.
If in general people find this a useful thing we could try to revive it.
UUID can be a pain for humans.

Hi,
Is there any further information on what a "shortname" - used in the API route
/species/root/{uuid|shortname}
described at https://www.gbif.org/developer/species
I assume "uuid|shortname" is uuid OR a shortname. So perhaps shortname is a short name for a dataset?
Thanks, Scott
