TDWG

The Biodiversity Information Standards body is evaluating the use of the service for managing the TDWG vocabularies and linking them to the TDWG ontology. See more in this post by Roger Hyam.

Encyclopedia of Life LifeDesks

The EOL LifeDesks are evaluating the system for accessing controlled vocabularies that support the curation of taxonomic checklists.

EDIT Taxonomic Scratchpads

As a partner in the development of the vocabulary server, the EDIT Scratchpad project seeks to utilise the tool as a repository for vocabularies that help support controlled data entry into different scratchpad modules.
