Abstract
Summary: Hawksworth, D. L.: Steps along the road to a harmonized bionomenclature. – Taxon 44: 447‐456 1995.–ISSN 0040‐0262.Steps taken towards an increasingly harmonized approach to the nomenclature of organisms in all groups since 1985 are identified. The key conclusions of an Exploratory Meeting on Harmonization held in 1994 are presented, along with the report of the first meeting of the Interim Commission on Bionomenclature held in 1995. The latter meeting made proposals on the harmonization of terms between the five existing Codes, and also prepared a first draft International code of bionomenclature to deal with names published after (provisionally) 1 January 2000.
