摘      要：Taxonomic interpretations of species or other taxa may vary considerably among authors. A database program called TaxLink has been developed, which allows for a detailed visualisation of comparisons between different taxonomic concepts. The basic entities of TaxLink are taxonyms (= potential taxa. Berendsohn, 1995). TaxLink may store taxonyms with their references, synonyms, relationships between taxonyms, and nomenclatural status of names. Information can be vizualised on screen, printed, and retrieved as textdocument in Microsoft Word format.
