XML file to be processed:
Tag in your data file for scientific names or TSNs (depending on your task):	Example: name, scientific_name, taxon, tsn etc.

Task to be performed:

	Find ITIS TSNs for the given list of scientific names
	Find ITIS TSNs for the given list of scientific names and insert them into the original file (preserving XML structure)
	Find ITIS scientific names for the given list of TSNs
	Find ITIS scientific names for the given list of TSNs and insert them into the original file (preserving XML structure)

• Be aware that processing may take several minutes depending on the size of your file.
• Try to keep the size of your list of names or ITIS numbers up to 1000 entries, divide a long list into several short ones if necessary. This guarantees fast speed and reliability.
• Taxonomic Serial Number '-1' (or scientific name 'NO NAME') indicates an error, and usually means that the name (or TSN) you provided does not exist in the ITIS database. We recommend that you double-check that manually on the ITIS web site.
