There has been some support recently for the [[International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses]] (ICTV) to endorse the storage of virus metadata in public databases such as Wikipedia or the Encyclopedia of Life and to transcribe some of their useful data into these public databases.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Gibbs|first=Adrian J|date=2013-08-09|title=Viral taxonomy needs a spring clean; its exploration era is over
The notion of Web-based consensus taxonomies remains controversial because, as two Australian researchers pointed out,<ref>{{cite journal | author = [[Kevin Thiele|Thiele, Kevin]] and David Yeates | year = 2002 | title = Tension arises from duality at the heart of taxonomy | journal = Nature | issue = 6905| doi = 10.1038/419337a | pages = 337 | volume = 419 | pmid = 12353005| bibcode = 2002Natur.419..337T | doi-access = free }}</ref> taxonomic names are not fixed but hypotheses, and therefore in constant change.
