In 2022 WFO changed how the taxonomic backbone was managed. There are now six-monthly data releases. They have also moved to using a semantic web compliant URIs as documented here:

https://list.worldfloraonline.org/sw_index.php

These have some advantages over the current id to URL mapping.

1. They separate the identifier and its resolution from the portal system and so allow independent software changes. They should be more stable and potentially more performant.
2. They are semantic web compatible and do content negotiation returning JSON, RDF and a bunch of other formats.
3. They explicitly support changes to the taxonomy through time. You can crawl the graph of the existing taxonomic relations and previous ones.
4. They will redirect humans to the latest version of the taxonomy.

Suggestion:

The value of property P8966 (URL match pattern) should be changed to ^https://list.worldfloraonline.org/(wfo-[0-9]{10})$

How do we make this change? Who should be involved?

Once this has been made we could look at how we update WikiData with each WFO data release which will always be available here: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.8079052

I've raised this with the Wikidata WikiProject Biodiversity group attempting to find someone who may be able to help. I've reached out to @Pigsonthewing: who may be able to assist as I don't feel confident enough to change a property myself. -Ambrosia10 (talk)

Just to avoid confusion here, with the formatting of the regex that RogerHyam has posted, here it is without the automatic linking: ^https://list.worldfloraonline.org/(wfo-[0-9]{10})$ . DFichtmueller (talk)

That gives me an error in my regex validator, so I've escaped it as ^https?:\/\/list\.worldfloraonline.org\/(wfo-[0-9]{10})$ (that also allows for http:// versions). I've also fixed recent changes to maintain the old versions as "deprecated", for archival purposes. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 13:29, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It appears to be working great now. Many thanks for this. RogerHyam (talk) 11:42, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
