What it does

NCBI Taxonomy provides a curated classification and nomenclature for organisms represented in public sequence databases.

Use the taxon record when a sequence-related research question depends on organism identity. Its stated scope is the sequence databases, so it serves a different purpose from a complete global species catalogue.
