Support for external ids in taxonomicClassifiaction, eg, to a code from a system like ITIS or WoRMS. Possibly this could resemble the pattern used in alternateIdentifier. It should be repeatable.
original reasoning:
We use species codes in tables of abundance and density. If the
taxonomicClassification element supported ids, then we could create a reference
from the code to its taxon. The list of taxa would probably be kept under
additionalMetadata (due to its length).
