Wikispecies: Annetaan vapaan lajitietokannan kehittyä!
Elokuussa 2004 Wikimedia Foundation julkaisi uuden projektin, Wikispeciesin. Tämä verkkosivusto on luotu tarjoamaan avoimen lähdekoodin sivusto taksonomista ja biologisesta tiedosta.
Wikispeciesin sisältö
Wikispecies will serve a seriously interested community such as scientists, students, or teachers. It aims to link other Wikimedia Foundation projects, and should not become a bio-Wikipedia. There are people in the wiki-community who fear a fork within Wikipedia, a development we all want to avoid. Therefore, a template for content has been developed, which should be taken as a guideline. Eventually, it is up to the users of Wikispecies to decide what it will become.
Malline tarjoaa sivuille suositellun perusrakenteen:
TAKSONAVIGAATIO: Give the most commonly used clades of the taxonomic tree and allows a convenient navigation through all groups of life. To find templates for taxonavigation, just click "edit" at the top of any taxon page. To use a template, type {{Nameofclade}}, esimerkiksi kuten tämä: {{Aves}} linnuille, toisin sanoen Aves.
NIMI: Give the binominal name according to the original author of that name, esimerkiksi: Meles meles Linnaeus, 1758.
LÄHTEET: Antaa julkaisun, jossa lajin alkuperäinen kuvaus on julkaistu. Löyrääksesi sen kokeile seuraavia sivostoja:
- Index Fungorum - Fungi
- International Plant Names Index
- Zoonomen.net Index - Birds
- Mammalian Species Index
- Reptile Database
- Catalog of Fishes
KANSANKIELISET NIMET: Give names of the species in other languages (see Help for instructions). Links to articles on this species in the particular Wikipedias will be added automatically, for example [[en:Badger]]</code> (links to the English Wikipedia on badgers) and <code><nowiki>[[de:Dachs]] (linkittää saksankielisen Wikipedian artikkeliin mäyrästä).
MUU: Yritä välttää muuta tietoa. Jos sinun kuitenkin täytyy, lisää se taksonin keskustelusivulle. To preserve understandability for all languages, further information for a particular taxon should be put on the respective Wikipedia.
Wikispeciesin virstanpylväät
20 toukokuuta 2007 Wikispecies ylitti 100 000 artikkelia. This milestone was recorded at Wikimedia News and submitted to the Wikipedia Signpost's Tip Line. A post was also made on Wikizine's wiki. Joulukuusta 2019 lähtien täällä on ollut yli 700 000 artikkelia.
In 2015, we integrated with sister project Wikidata to coordinate structured data between other Wikimedia Foundation projects as well as the world's learners.
Wikispeciesin tulevaisuus
What will Wikispecies become eventually? As said before, this will widely depend on the users of this resource and on the will to share knowledge. Right now, there is an enormous pool of information online, which can be found on a variety of websites. One of these is www.itis.gov, which is something like an official resource. Another very good source is www.biolib.cz/en/main. Most other sources are protected by copyrights, often not very user-friendly, or limited to a select group of species.
This is very similar to the situation on general encyclopedias before 2001. Then, Wikipedia was released and became an instant success. Wikipedia has proved that the concept of self-administered information can work excellently. There is no reason to believe that Wikispecies should not become a valuable source of information.
Depending on the user's interests, the contributed content could make Wikispecies the largest archive of open-access pictures on British wildlife; a determination key for all European marine organisms; a teaching tool for middle school teachers; an archive of local vernacular names of herbs; a collection of weblinks to resources on corals; a reference for passionate herpetologists who want to learn about their pets; or simply an unlimited and expandable forum for all those who share a passionate interest in the life forms of this planet.
Se miten Wikispeciesin käy, riippuu sinusta. Me tarjoamme sinulle tekniikan; sinä lisäät sisällön, jonka haluat nähdä.
Kehitetään Wikispeciesiä!
