Description: Currently the portal has a mock link, for example http://eol.org/gbif/2435099.
According to http://eol.org/info/322 we should be able to use the GBIF ids to link to EOL (assuming they have an up to date GBIF Backbone) if the GBIF Backbone was an accepted hierarchy provider:
http://eol.org/api/provider_hierarchies/1.0
Then we could do get the EOL id for Aves like this:
http://eol.org/api/search_by_provider/1.0/{GBIF_PROVIDER_ID}?hierarchy_id=212
Still this would only be a webservice call and no direct html link.
We could implement the EOL link therefore either asynchroneously or store the EOL ids as nub usage identifiers in checklist bank and update them thru a separate process.
Alternatively, if we could get EOL as a dwca checklist we could treat it as a regular checklist which would be preferrable. To be discussed with EOL.]]>

According to http://eol.org/content_partners/4 we are content provider ID 4.
http://eol.org/api/search_by_provider/1.0/4?hierarchy_id=212 returns no results.
Indexing seems subject to stale data, so a dynamic approach sounds "better".
Why not simply do this for a first iteration:
http://eol.org/search/?q=Felidae
Homonyms look understandable / acceptable:
http://eol.org/search/?q=Oenanthe
Should we need to link "smarter" we could refine it in the future (perhaps we can search with a rank and a higher taxon).
