| Abstract | Large-scale ecological modeling and evolutionary studies often rely on scoring taxon-level characteristics of a wide variety of organisms (e.g. Harvey and Pagel, 1993; Page, 2003; Phillimore et al., 2006; Ives and Godfray, 2006). Compiling such data is laborious and may involve finding and reformatting data tables in original literature, or personally exchanging spreadsheets or ASCII files with researchers. Compiled taxon-level data is beginning to be shared digitally (e.g. Brose et al., 2005) and efforts to support wide data sharing in ecology and evolution (Parr and Cummings, 2005) should make even more compiled data available in forms useful to scientists. However, retrieval, integration, transformation, and validation of shared data in traditional archives remain difficult and largely manual processes. Discovery of new insights from such data is therefore delayed if it is even possible. |
