EOL full taxon identifier map

Description

A mapping of taxon identifiers from EOL resources, of the form: node_id, resource_pk, resource_id, page_id, preferred_canonical_for_page

  • node_id: internal to EOL; useful for some API calls
  • resource_pk: identifier according to the classification provider 
  • resource_id: identifies the classification provider (see below) 
  • page_id: EOL taxon concept identifier; official, for sharing 
  • preferred_canonical_for_page: canonical name preferred by EOL for this taxon concept 

commas within entries are "escaped, by, quoting", and quotes-within-quotes are ""double quoted""

resource_ids, their names and descriptions, are available at: https://eol.org/resources.json

To view one at a time: https://eol.org/resources/[enter ID here] 

There is also a summary file with resources ids, links, and resource names here: https://github.com/KatjaSchulz/eolResources

And there is a smaller mapping file just for the major EOL classification sources: EOL taxon identifier map
