### The Species File Group
The Species File Group (SFG) is an endowment-funded collective of specialists whose broader goal is the advancement of biodiversity informatics. We are located at the University of Illinois, Illinois Natural History Survey. Our group supports the following software/activities:

* [TaxonWorks](taxonworks.org) - a workbench for taxonomists and natural history museums.
* [Global Names Architecture](globalnames.org) - finding, parsing, and resolving taxon names from literature. Lead Developer: Dmitry Mozzherin.
* [Catalogue of Life](catalogueoflife.org) - editorial group, and data assembly hub. Executive Editor Yury Roskov and Database Manager Geoff Ower.
* Taxonomic/Systematic Research supporting several insect groups.

#### The TaxonWorks Community
Everyone joining us at our weekly meetings, everyone who invests efforts to capture, study, and share knowledge using and developing our software, and building on or connecting to our services, enriches our goal to support evolving our broader community efforts to describe life, together. The work revealed on this website comes from many community meetings, many hours of research, a lot of software and data model development. This includes considerable effort to support impactful culture change and potentially enhanced standards of practice for data capture, sharing resources, knowledge, and workload. Please join us any Wednesday to add your voice to our community and learn more (see [Events](https://speciesfilegroup.org/events.html)).
