Abstract
A topic in active discussion in the Biodiversity Informatics Community is the question of taxonomic opinions and their computational implementation. Is it feasible to have multiple classifications for one and the same taxon or shall it be more desirable to have only one consolidated taxonomic tree.
The technical infrastructure for maintaining such multiple taxonomies, including the underlying data model and the methods for a consolidated visualization, will be illustrated.
