          IUCN and CoL both settle around 1500 accepted species while our backbone exposes > 12.000 accepted species. For example the genus Weingartia in GBIF with some hundred species (from IPNI) is completely synonymised in IUCN

              No. But I just discovered that the backbone I am looking at isnt using the basionym detection feature. I am rebuilding a new one tonight, let's see how that changes figures

              TPL has similar stats to ours if you consider unassed as doubtful or accepted:

              Who told you "its not for public or GBIF use"? My patience with people not sharing data is wearing thin...

              Besides the terms of use specifically allow derivative works (I'm sure we've had a similar discussion before), and I'd argue a Darwin Core Archive is derivative, so why don't we just do it...

              If use of that particular archive is a problem, I can create one. I've been meaning to do so for a while, and it could be made highly "derived" by adding 200,000-300,000 literature links I've been adding to IPNI.
