			The content of this page has been split into a page listing [[Taxonomic datasets]] and a list of [[Name matching services]].



	In the following we list (in alphabetical order) large scale aggregators of taxonomic information that either provide name matching services themselves or are indirectly accessible for name checking by means of one of the repository services.<br />		In the following we list (in alphabetical order) large scale aggregators of taxonomic information that either provide name matching services themselves or are indirectly accessible for name checking by means of one of the repository services.<br />
	NB: We are now preparing these data in tables separating the datasets from the actual services, because many datasets may be accessed through several services. Several datasets and services have been added and the outcome of matching with using the service with a specific target dataset is also documented. Testing and documentation in progress. Publication of the result on this site is forthcoming.
