An easily related to classifying living things knowledge base is critically important for all lots of different living things all existing together-related sciences. Now, related to classifying living things information is organized and controlled by a system of rules and conventions that date back to the introduction of binomial name by Linnaeus. The system for classifying living things of any particular group of living things makes up the sum information in the related to classifying living things books, supported by selected type medical samples in major collections. In this article, the way modern means of spreading around information will change the practice of system for classifying living things, in particular the Internet, is explored. Basic related to classifying living things information, such as medical example-level data, location of types, and name big lists of items are already available, at least for some groups, on the Web. Specialist related to classifying living things computer files full of information, key-construction programs, and other software useful for systematists are also more and more available. There has also been a move towards Web-publishing of related to classifying living things educated guesses, though up until now this is not fully permitted by the Codes of Name. A further and more radical move would be to move from one place to another system for classifying living things completely to the Web. A possible model of this is discussed, as well as a beginning project, the "CATE" effort to begin doing something, which tries to explore the advantages and disadvantages of such a move. It is argued that system for classifying living things needs to create better links with its user-communities to maintain its money/giving money to base, and that an important part of this is making the products of its research easier to get to, use, or understand through the Internet.
