The document discusses the Taxonomic Reference (TaxRef) system, which provides a comprehensive classification framework for fauna, flora, and fungi in France, facilitating access to over 3200 excavation records and numerous species references. It emphasizes the transition to a linked-data format to enhance interoperability and usability across various applications and datasets. Future work includes expanding TaxRef's scope to encompass cultural, chronological, and geographical data, as well as addressing conservation issues for vulnerable species.
