Hi! I'm a latecomer to this discussion, and not a biologist, so sorry if this is silly, but I thought Uniprot had a pretty uptodate taxonomy of species? Anyway, I have a use case: I spend quite some time tagging my pictures, and I take pictures of plants and animals. Sometimes, I even stumble upon some rarely seen creatures, which are duly tagged as such. Now, I do not intend to maintain a biological taxonomy, my tags are intended for my consumption, thus has labels that means something mostly to me. However, I intend to model them with SKOS at some point, and then, to make them useful to others, mapping them to a proper taxonomy would be very interesting. I believe MOAT could be used for that. So, it would be very interesting if your vocabulary could be used for this purpose!
