Harvesting new taxonomic names and publications from RSS, OAI and other feeds

## Mycobank

Mycobank has REST API here http://www.mycobank.org/Services/Generic/Help.aspx?s=searchservice

Can query by date ranges, e.g. http://www.mycobank.org/Services/Generic/SearchService.svc/rest/xml?layout=14682616000003562&filter=Creation_Date%3E%2220150201000000%22&NameYear_%3E%2220150101000000%22

finds records created since 2015-02-1 for taxa published in 2015.

Note that Mycobank numbers translate directly to IndexFungorum ids (i.e., MB800022 is urn:lsid:indexfungorum.org:names:800022, which can be resolved http://www.indexfungorum.org/IXFWebService/Fungus.asmx/NameByKeyRDF?NameLsid=urn:lsid:indexfungorum.org:names:800022 )

## ION

ION has RSS feeds, and provides LSIDs. Not that recently ION has started serving multiple original descriptions. For example, the record [866756](http://www.organismnames.com/details.htm?lsid=866756) has this metadata:

866756

Rana cavitympanum
Rana cavitympanum

[Title unknown.] Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London 1893: Unpaginated. [Zoological Record Volume 30]

Descriptions of new Reptiles and Batrachians obtained in Borneo by Mr. A. Everett and Mr. C. Hose. Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London 1893: pp. 522-528. 525 [Zoological Record Volume 30]
525

This is an old record (as indicated by it’s numeric id 866756) but has had more complete bibliographic details added. Any post-processing would need to take this into account.
