ZooBank: The World Register of Animal Names
Thompson Zoological (de som står bakom Zoological Record) har startat
ZooBank: The World Register of Animal Names . Ännu bara en prototyp men släpps senare i år i full skala.
" The aim of ZooBank is to provide an online, open-access, register for new animal names and taxonomic acts in zoology. Although the idea of a register of animal names is not a new one, ZooBank grew recently out of discussions between zoologists around the world and was first proposed by 29 authors in a
paper in Nature, September 2005. At the same time a dedicated discussion list was launched at
http://list.afriherp.org/mailman/listinfo/zoobank-list ZooBank has received international favourable publicity in the popular and science press."

Map of Science:
Scientific Method: Relationships Among Scientific Paradigms"This map was constructed by sorting roughly 800,000 published papers into 776 different scientific paradigms (shown as pale circular nodes) based on how often the papers were cited together by authors of other papers. Links (curved black lines) were made between the paradigms that shared papers, then treated as rubber bands, holding similar paradigms nearer one another when a physical simulation forced every paradigm to repel every other; thus the layout derives directly from the data"
