A few #project posts, as an #introduction
I've had a long association with the International Plant Names Index https://www.ipni.org firstly in a technical role, now in analysis.
IPNI is a longterm project. Kew received a legacy from #Darwin to create #IndexKewensis - a list of scientific names & place of publication, to avoid repeated lookup of primary literature.
Darwin saw the coming #DataDeluge & supported a text mining project to address it
1st output published 1893 & we continue today
