search for Anura in WoRMS returns non-WoRMS taxon ids

[jhpoelen]

When executing using name "Anura" in http://resolver.globalnames.org , a result is returned that includes unexpected WoRMS classification ids like gn:I7WB_zNSUlqQP-4KWe8VCA . Expected WoRMS ids would include 448306 (see http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=448306).

I did not find a dump of WoRMS with their local ids, if you do know one -- I would like to know too! So I use ids generated automatically and mark them gn:... to avoid confusion

(long overdue reply) The WoRMS API provides WoRMS ids. According to the http://www.marinespecies.org/about.php (see attached screenscrape), you can also request a full dump of their taxonomy. I'd be surprised if that archive did not provide the WoRMS ids.

Looks like WORMS ids are now included. Thanks!
