  • TCS also has a DataSet/TaxonNames/TaxonName/CanonicalName where the name is split up into its constituent parts. I [NK] think this probably shouldn’t be in the specification, but be left to implementations (or maybe NOMEN). [NK, 2018-11-12]

  • Like the CanonicalName, I think we can leave out CanonicalAuthorship (DataSet/TaxonNames/TaxonName/CanonicalAuthorship) and only use the string representation. The constituent parts of the authorship should be in the Publication details. [NK, 2018-11-12]

  • Should this be in the TNU class? Seems to be a property of the primary TNU rather than the name. Or can we leave it out altogether and consider it part of the name (and the mapping to a rank in the vocabulary as a spelling correction [or other relationship]) [NK, 2018-11-13]

  • This will expand to ‘taxonomicNameUsageLabel’ in flat serialisations.

  • :TaxonomicConceptLabel of Senderov et al. 2018.

  • Replaces accordingToString (DataSet/TaxonConcepts/TaxonConcept/AccordingTo/Simple) and nameString (DataSet/TaxonConcepts/TaxonConcept/Name/TaxonName/Simple) from the TDWG Taxon LSID Ontology (and TCS). [NK, 2018-11-12]

  • TCS uses MicroReference in a number of places, including in the TaxonName class. I think all the bits in the TaxonName class where this applies to have been moved into the TaxonomicNameUsage class, but we are still going to need micro references in the TaxonConceptRelationship class. Would it be useful to have a Reference that comprises a Publication (or BibliographicResource) and a micro reference? (I probably wouldn’t use it in a database, but would in JSON) [NK, 2018-11-12]

  • We should be able to find something in some citation standard that covers this (haven’t been successful so far). [NK, 2018-11-13]

    • Maybe just leave it out and leave it to implementations. [NK]

  • I propose to replace the TCS primary (DataSet/TaxonConcepts/TaxonConcept/@primary) attribute with a type property. This allows for a vocabulary with just ‘primary’ and ‘secondary’, basically corresponding to the boolean in TCS, or a more detailed Taxonomic Name Usage Type vocabulary. [NK, 2018-11-12]

property: nomenclaturalStatus

Identifier

http://rs.tdwg.org/tnu/terms/nomenclaturalStatus

Definition

The status related to the original publication of the name and its conformance to the relevant rules of nomenclature. It is based essentially on an algorithm according to the business rules of the code. It requires no taxonomic opinion.

nom. inval., nom. illeg.
Discussion

  • In TCS PublicationStatus is a NomenclaturalNoteType (complexType with several sub-elements), which allows for a lot of detail, but is not so great for searching and linking etc. We should have a vocabulary on this term and deal with the detail in the vocabulary. Rules (or their numbering) tend to change between consecutive issues of a Code. [NK, 2018-11-12]

  • In the TDWG Taxon Name LSID Ontology, tn:PublicationStatus is a tn:NomenclaturalNoteTypeTerm. There is no property in TaxonName that links a tn:NomenclaturalNote to a TaxonName, but tn:NomenclaturalNote has a tn:subjectTaxonName property that does it the other way around. [NK, 2018-11-13]

  • Should this also be moved to TaxonomicNameUsage? [NK, 2018-11-12]

  • Not in TCS or in the TDWG Taxon Concept Ontology (because TCS taxon concepts are always 'accepted'?), but in Darwin Core and Berlin Model. NSL has this as part of their Instance type. [NK, 2018-11-13]

  • It might be better to leave this out of the specification, but implementations will need to have a repeatable typification element that contains the typeOfType and typeSpecimen properties. [NK, 2018-11-12]

  • Lecto- and Neotypifications are TNUs. Does this mean that Typification is better moved to the TaxonomicNameUsage class? (I think I’d like that; so much so that I went ahead and did it) [NK, 2018-11-12]

  • I can’t find this in TCS, but it is in the TDWG Taxon Concept LSID Ontology as hasInformation and has the Species Profile Model InfoItem as it range. I think this is the same as the Facts in the Berlin Model (or MoReTax). Good to have as an attachment point for traits? [NK, 2018-11-12]

  • TCS has relationships in two places, under TaxonConcepts and under TaxonRelationshipAssertions. When under TaxonConcepts there is obviously no FromTaxonConcept, as that is the TaxonConcept the Relationship sits within itself.
