+//(Explains how large collaborative biological databases
+(such as the ERMS checklist and the ILDIS World Database of Legumes)
+were assembled by //**merging**// contributed data sets,
+and contrasts this with //**linking**// databases together into larger systems
+in initiatives such as the Species 2000 Dynamic Checklist
+and its further development in the Spice project.
+Databases such as ILDIS and the Species 2000 Catalogue of Life are seen as
+taxonomic backbones to which a variety of further data sets can be linked
+to expand the range of data available to the user.
+The reliability of such "onward links" in the presence of factors
+such as differing taxonomic treatments in the various data sets is discussed,
+with a proposed solution using "cross-maps" prepared using the Litchi software,
+which was developed further in the "Biodiversity World" and "Species 2000 Europa" projects.)//

+//(Describes the assembly of the ILDIS database from regional contributions
+to make the "Phase 1" checklist with geographical data
+and a few morphological and plant-use fields, with full citation of references,
+and explains current and planned future activities aiming to use this as a "backbone"
+to link in "Phase 2" data sets, especially phytochemistry (Babac & Bisby, 1984) and nodulation data.
+Emphasises the role of ILDIS in providing services to users,
+and interestingly assumes that scientists will send their requests to "enquiry centres",
+thus failing to foresee the rapid growth of the Internet and especially the World-Wide Web,
+although an experimental online data retrieval was planned.)//
