[Taxacom] ZooKeys facilitates discovery and access to ‘primary biodiversity data’ simultaneously with sc hola rly publication

[Neal Evenhuis]

Maybe you can clarify how the publication in 
ZooKeys you are announcing differs from what 
looks like the same thing that Rich Pyle 
published in Zootaxa over a year ago. I thought 
he was working with GBIF (as well as ICZN and 
ZooBank) to achieve this.

The interactiveness to underlying LSIDs and other 
metadata seem to be more robust than the article 
you cite. But maybe I'm missing what makes the 
ZooKeys article unique ....
