• Item:Q251
• Item:Q297 and related
• Instances of Item:Q657

Project maintenance to-dos

Chores:

• Process backlog of new references
• Add higher taxonomy (PR2 for eukaryotes, LPSN for prokaryotes) to permit queries by taxonomy
• 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?
