Yes, although one could just label a few important and frequently used datasets like the backbone and the Catalogue of Life.

Hi Markus,
Thanks for the quick reply. I have no preference on this. I guess as number of datasets increase the unique shortname's will start to get rather long.

Best, Scott

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
