Compromise higher classification for Chordata within the Catalogue of Life Checklist. This dataset has been created to meet the following requirements: 1. Include all taxa necessary to link Chordata Global Species Databases into the COL Checklist. 2. Ensure that the hierarchy can be navigated easily by the majority of users (avoiding extra intermediate clades). 3. Despite simplification, reflect understanding of the phylogeny of Chordata (reflecting evolutionary origins of tetrapods within the jawed fish). 4. Support appropriate resolution for searches using the familiar name 'Reptilia'. The classification presented here was pruned from the 2023 COL Checklist, which included many more intermediate clades.
