Taxonomic curation workbench
The repository already separates curated topology from live taxonomic reconciliation and audits missing fields. A fuller workbench can turn those foundations into review queues for synonyms, rank conflicts, unresolved names, and topology drift.

What Genosphere supports today
- A standardized curated seed with stable identifiers and normalized attributes.
- GBIF reconciliation with explicit match status, provenance, and warnings.
- Audits for missing descriptions, geological ranges, ranks, and external identifiers.
What comes next
- Review queues for synonym changes, rank conflicts, and unresolved names.
- Versioned topology comparisons and source-aware drift reports.
- Exportable correction proposals rather than silent source overwrites.
Questions this workspace can explore
Which curated names now resolve to synonyms?
Where do source ranks conflict with the editorial topology?
Which branches changed between taxonomy releases?
Intended for Taxonomists, Data curators, Biodiversity informaticians. Genosphere is exploratory; verify important scientific claims against primary literature and the displayed source provenance.
