4. The Encyclopedia of Life will continue it's slow decline into irrelevance. …Nobody will care, as we have Wikipedia. 1
5. Catalogue of Life will issue another release, complete with much fanfare. The LSIDs will continue to fail. …nobody will care. 2
6. There will be much talk of integrating biodiversity data …nothing of significance in this area will happen. 3
7. For most young scientists GenBank will be the dominant source of information about biodiversity. …if it hasn't been sequenced, they won't care about it. 4
12. Data providers such as Thomson Reuters (Index of Organism Names) will continue to clutch to debilitating notions of “intellectual property” 9
13. The chasm between the classifications that underlie efforts such as EOL, and phylogenetic trees being generated by systematists will grow. …Neither community will care. 10

For the species in Wikipedia I asked what web site comes top of the Google search for that name. Wikipedia dominates the search ranking. There really is only one game in town. 70,000 species
