-A DwC-A version of the ITIS taxonomic database
+A DwC-A version of the ITIS taxonomic database, by
+permission of the ITIS Data Specialized. I download
+the [database dump from the ITIS website](http://www.itis.gov/downloads/index.html),
+then use [dwca-hunter](https://github.com/GlobalNamesArchitecture/dwca-hunter)
+by the [Global Names Architecture](http://globalnames.org/) to generate
+a DwC-A file from ITIS.
+
+Please note that all data used from the DwC-A file should be credited to
+ITIS as follows: Retrieved [month, day, year], from the Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS) (http://www.itis.gov). The month/day/year can be
+available from the first line of the version.txt file.
+
+Please [report any issues you notice with this distribution](https://github.com/gaurav/itis-dwca/issues), and use at your own risk!

+    <abstract>
+      <para>The White House Subcommittee on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics has identified systematics as a research priority that is fundamental to ecosystem management and biodiversity conservation. This primary need identified by the Subcommittee requires improvements in the organization of, and access to, standardized nomenclature. ITIS (originally referred to as the Interagency Taxonomic Information System) was designed to fulfill these requirements. In the future, the ITIS will provide taxonomic data and a directory of taxonomic expertise that will support the system</para>
