AB Taxonomic names remain fundamental to linking biodiversity data, but information on these names resides in separate silos. Despite often making their contents available in RDF, records in these taxonomic databases are rarely linked to identifiers in external databases, such as DOIs for publications, or ORCIDs for people. This paper explores how author names in publication databases such as CrossRef and ORCID can be reconciled with author names in a taxonomic database using existing vocabularies and SPARQL queries.
