| The data in the 2008 Annual Checklist have been provided by 52 taxonomic databases. Of these, 5 are new to the 2008 edition and 17 have been updated over the past year. Most datasets include one or
more global species database sectors (GSDs), i.e. datasets being developed
to cover all of the world's species in a particular group of organisms. A few datasets provide regional information for groups not yet covered globally.
The datasets result from collaboration and editing by many expert taxonomists,
whose names are found in the datasets themselves. A brief summary is listed
below giving: database short and full names; home page on the web; the author(s)
or editor(s); organisation; the group for which data are provided, preceded
by its higher classification; and the number of species and infraspecific
taxa included in this Annual Checklist.
