Use case scenarios for TaxonConceptSchema (TCS, Napier)
Gregor Hagedorn (Federal Biological Research Center, Institute for Plant Virology, Microbiology, and Biological Safety, Königin-Luise-Str. 19, 14195 Berlin, Germany)Some use case scenarios of supplying data nomenclatural and concept data in the Taxonomic Concept Schema (TCS) format and of linking ecological or descriptive data to TCS data are discussed. How well are these use cases supported by TCS? Furthermore, the NameAtomizedType is studied, to see whether it is possible to have a larger common bio-name type, with extensions for different taxonomic codes, rather than having completely different name types for each code. Also, no provision seems to be made to support the concept parts of a name in the atomized format.
