- Motivation
NBN System Keys are the official national taxonomic reference of the United Kingdom. On the website, there is a lot of information (taxonomy, vernacular names in English, Welsh, Gaelic). The usage of this external identifier in the UK precisely parallels that of TAXREF TAXREF ID (P3186) in France. Semudobia (talk) 15:55, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
Support Makes sense to me to have this too. The integration will take a little bit more time, because there exists no downloadable list and I have to use the web service. --Succu (talk) 16:25, 23 September 2016 (UTC)- Support ChristianKl (talk) 17:11, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
