  • Just a note about Citations - an Email today from Zoobank requested that Chinese names be used in full. Because there are so few family names, it is hard to resolve references with just a family name and first initial.
  • Micro-citations should be differentiated from verbatim references. A micro-citation is just an author and date (as seen in a full taxon name). A verbatim reference is the full reference as it appears in documentation that hasn't be broken into normalized pieces yet. Both versions need to be tracked and searchable. We also need a way to get a listing out of TW of both versions, so they can be normalized into full sources.
