This information, traditionally managed by taxonomists, is now transforming into a web-based infrastructure. The complexity and narrative quality of the biological sciences require an information management framework that is sensitive to the scale, richness, character, and heterogeneity of the discipline. Given that the names of organisms offer us a nearly universal system for indexing biological data objects, a names-based cyberinfrastructure has the capacity to index the totality of available biological information and to aggregate taxon-centric data over a broad scale. In order to serve its role, this infrastructure should incorporate thirteen principles that are proposed here.
