A taxonomic database is a collection of information about the classification and relationships of organisms. However, some may find the term taxonomic database too specific or technical. Synonyms for this term might include biodiversity database, species database, or even simply a flora and fauna database. Other related terms might include biological database or even a natural history database, depending on the scope of the collection. In general, any resource that offers information on the taxonomy and relationships between different organisms can be considered a taxonomic database, regardless of the terminology used to describe it.
