Hi Scott,
<div class="">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.</div>
<div class="">nub, itis, col were supposed to be such shortnames.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">If in general people find this a useful thing we could try to revive it. </div>
<div class="">UUID can be a pain for humans.</div>

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