README for e-Species
====================

e-Species is a CGI-based biodiversity search engine written in Python
and made available under the GNU General Public Licence. It searches
biological databases for a taxonomic name. The search is done "on the fly"
using web services (SOAP/XML) or URL API's.

e-Species aggregates information from multiple sources, as follows:

 - Gets nomenclatural information (higher taxon classification and
   synonyms, if any) for a given taxon name from the Catalogue of Life
 - Retrieves a short descriptive phrase for the taxon name from Wikipedia,
   to display on the e-Species page, handling redirections
 - Searches GenBank for protein and nucleotide sequences for the taxon
   name
 - Displays distribution maps from the Global Biodiversity Information 
   Facility for the taxon name
 - Gets up to five images for the taxon name from Wikimedia Commons 
 - Extracts up to ten bibliographic references for the taxon from PubMed

Please send bug reports, suggestions, and comments to Mauro J. Cavalcanti
