For botanists, there is the excellent Plant Taxonomists Online database at

gopher://muse.bio.cornell.edu:70/11/directories/pto

The Expert-Center for Taxonomic Identification (ETI) is now developing an
on-line data base of taxonomic experts
to which all taxonomists are welcome to add their names. The data base is
searchable on both persons and taxonomic groups at any level and can be
found at
