marine and nonmarine genera is a provisional or interim compilation of genus names including species names in many cases and covers both living and extinct biota into a single system to support taxonomic and other queries dealing with e g homonyms authorities parent child relationships spelling variations and distinctions between marine and non marine or fossil and recent taxa taxonomic names in irmng are assigned flags to distinguish between marine vs non marine and extant vs fossil status they are also arranged into a simple management hierarchy for navigation purposes compilation of statistics per taxonomic group and more fuzzy matching is also supported using taxamatch so that a misspelled name can in most instances be reconciled to a correctly spelled name at genus or species rank where this is held history irmng commenced in 2006 following an analysis of needs in respect of taxonomic names management for the ocean biodiversity information system obis the main objectives were to fill the gaps and produce a hierarchical classification of all life extant fossil to at least genus level and provide a tool to distinguish marine from non marine taxa it was designed as a contribution to the international obis system from obis australia which is hosted at csiro marine and atmospheric research cmar in australia and also used as taxonomic information system by other initiatives cmar contributed in kind to irmng development and ongoing hosting as part of its commitment to obis au and small amounts of obis gbif and atlas of living australia funds have contributed to aspects of its population late 2013 the database manager and curator of irmng tony rees who was awarded the prestigious gbif ebbe nielsen prize for 2014 started to look for a new host institute for his database the flanders marine institute vliz made an offer including hosting adding distributing content and the possible development of new features for irmng which has been accepted by tony and the former host institute csiro in australia during 2014 and 2015 the data transfer and integration from csiro to vliz was prepared leading to the new launch early 2016 sources contributors initial sources utilised for creation of irmng include the nomenclator zoologicus compilation of zoological genus names 1758 2004 the index nominum genericorum compilation of botanical names sensu lato the catalogue of life compilation of species names 2006 version to be updated in due course and a range of others including both databases and print works frequently the required information on a given name is required to be assembled from multiple sources for example nomenclator zoologicus gives names but not families or taxonomic status index nominum genericorum gives names and families which may have subsequently changed but not taxonomic status and so on contributors to this project include tony rees nicolas bailly deng palomares sheila brands dennis gordon don robertson gary poore robin wilson ely wallis helen morgan anna povey edward vanden berghe ellen farr joel hallan rod page jean sébastien girard iestyn jealous the project has also been assisted by two small grants from the global biodiversity information facility and support from the atlas of living australia vision the transfer of hosting institution for irmng will not cease the existing database nor stop the development and updates of the register in the future close collaboration with tony rees will remain the flanders marine institute vliz will provide ongoing hosting of the irmng data content using the same infrastructure that is currently provided to host the world register of marine species worms and with the technical support already in place vliz will also support the web interfaces for the external users so they can easily query existing and future irmng content and continue the delivery of irmng data dumps for the benefit of significant scale irmng users such as e g gbif eol ala obis and many more in time and as resources permit vliz will develop additional services over both irmng and worms to serve the users needs also content wise vliz will contribute to irmng by committing to help build an editor network similar to the worms editor network who can help to keep the irmng information up to date and to help fill in the already identified gaps within the database the transfer and hosting of irmng is supported by lifewatch belgium part of the e science european lifewatch infrastructure for biodiversity and ecosystem research lifewatch is a distributed virtual laboratory which is used for different aspects of biodiversity research the lifewatch species information backbone aims at bringing together taxonomic and species related data and at filling
