    Abstract

    The Logic-based Integration of Taxonomic Conflicts in Heterogeneous Information Systems (LITCHI) project is initiated with the aim of developing software to enable the automated detection and, where possible, resolution of conflicts in taxonomic checklists. To support this project, a formal model is constructed of the way scientific names are used to denote taxa in common taxonomic practice. The model is then used to derive sets of Prolog rules which will detect conflicts in taxonomic checklists stored in a relational DBMS.
