>Species-ID is dedicated to publish and integrate open species descriptions and identification tools. The ultimate goal is to enable the identification of all living organisms on earth.<

I wonder if we can make the scope a bit more general to include other types of information in addition to strictly descriptive/diagnostic, e.g. faunistic, bionomic, etc? Also, I'm not sure it is good to have something unattainable as an ultimate goal?

Suggested rewording:

The goal of Species-ID is to offer a dynamic and authoritative open access resource for biodiversity information, with an emphasis on descriptive/diagnostic tools to facilitate identification.

• I have thought about the unattainable as well. I like your rewording and largely accepted it. Thanks a lot for your collaboration and contributions to the platform! I appreciate your feedback on the changed version! --Gregor Hagedorn 08:57, 21 March 2011 (CET)
