NCBI taxon IDs requiring attention from NCBI Taxonomy team

Project maintenance to-dos

Chores:

  • Process backlog of new references
  • Add higher taxonomy (PR2 for eukaryotes, LPSN for prokaryotes) to permit queries by taxonomy -- The taxonomy version is tagged by linking to a reference item for that particular taxonomy version to the 'parent taxon' statement in a 'stated in' reference.
  • Link prokaryote names to LPSN
  • Create reference items from DOIs in references
  • Ensure that all items have a class, check that class "placeholder taxon" is consistently used

Modeling:

  • Sane way to model placeholder taxa and non-specific taxon statements? E.g. general statements like "all members of this family are associated with methanogens", without creating items for each individual?
  • Modeling interactions: RO is insufficient?
  • Add statements about metabolism ("phototroph", "nitrogen fixer") to symbiont items?
  • Dummy taxon for "microbiome" to enable us to add references for microbiome studies?
