Recipes

Avibase is an extensive database information system about all birds of the world, containing over 53 million records about 10,000 species and 22,000 subspecies of birds, including distribution information for 20,000 regions, taxonomy, synonyms in several languages and more. Avibase aligns the taxonomy from 263 sources and assigns Avibase IDs to groups of concepts with the same circumscription.

This example was presented by Jeff Gerbracht at TCS Maintenance Group meeting in 2021. It revolves around Circus cyaneus, which was considered a holarctic species, but has been split into a paleo-arctic species, Circus cyaneus, and a neo-arctic species, Circus hudsonius.

Concepts from the sources that the Avibase concepts are based on are linked to the Avibase concept using the isCongruentWith property. Mappings between Avibase concepts are not made in so many words in Avibase, so they are provided in the form of annotations, but the information comes from Avibase’s taxon grids.
