Hello it doesn't seem that this Gitter is very active.
However, I have one question for which I don't see a clear answer to. What are the links between the Global Names Index and the Global Names Resolver? Is GNI the database that provides a backbone for GNR?
Because I'm using the

Because I'm using the
taxize R package and it has different functions to access both services.
There are 3 projects that are doing approximately the same thing: https://gni.globalnames.org, https://resolver.globalnames.org, https://verifier.globalnames.org
I do keep them all for now, because people have scripts that depend on them. However, when https://verifier.globalnames.org will get all functionality of other two,
gni and resolver will be deprecated and removed after a "sunset" period.

Oh! But I suppose it'll be a long deprecation period given that so many people are relying on it.
resolver adds fuzzy matching. Its code is stale, but data are updated reguarly
verifier is synced with resolver, but is about 100 times faster
From the moment when
verifier is ready, I think I will set a year or so for people to adjust
and I will ask @scott to update taxize
There are few things that have to be stabilized, for example, when I update database, I do shut it down for an hour and a half, but I try to do it during off hours for most users.
and it does not happen that often
This would be my choice of using
verifier
and REST API: https://app.swaggerhub.com/apis-docs/dimus/gnames/1.0.0
https://github.com/gnames/gnverify also allows to run web-interface locally
@debpaul is genty pushing me to start talking about new GN tools :)
Yes, I am @dimus 00 they are great tools! @Rekyt do you have a twitter account? May we loop you into our tweets?
Yes of course! My handle is @LeNematode
So there will be updates at globalnames.org soon
thank you for another gentle push @Rekyt :)
What makes Go a great language for biodiverstity informatics? https://globalnames.org/news/2021/07/14/go/
There is another interesting language https://vlang.io/ that tries to remove limitations in Go and Rust, but I won't trust it at this point of time.
Hi and thanks for this great project! I recently started using Global Names tools for a project and noticed you have two organization accounts on Github: GlobalNamesArchitecture and gnames. Some repos like gnfinder exist in both places, though the ones on gnames account are more recent (I think?). What's the connection between the two accounts and which one is the main source?
Hi @ka7eh
github.com/GlobalNamesArchitecture mostly contains Ruby projects, all of them were done earlier. The `github.com/gnames' contains more recent implementations written in Go. The Go code is planned to be developed further, while Ruby code will be more and more deprecated/removed with time.
You can see https://globalnames.org for news, docs and tutorials. In general gnfinder, gnverifier, gnparser from
gnames are the main projects that are actively developed now.
I was one verision behind with
brew, now I updated it to GNfinder v0.14.2, so if you did use brew try to install it again.
It works!! Awesome - thanks very much. I appreciate it!!
