Some identifications do not use taxa at all, others use multiple taxa, all of it may be ranked or not.\r\n\r\niDigBio's suggestion is to \"add[] taxonRank as a required field in Arctos\" which isn't possible or practical for many reasons.\r\n\r\nWhen ranked taxonomy is available we fill out the appropriate \"columns\" in DWC - \"Family,\" \"Order\" etc. From that we could find the most specific term which is ranked, but not \"The taxonomic rank of the most specific name in the scientificName\" (as specified in the Standard). The lowest ranked term also does not necessarily appear in the scientificName at all.\r\n\r\nI can't quite see what we could do before exporting the DWC that wouldn't just be wrong in some instances. As always, I'm open to suggestions.\r\n\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/ArctosDB/arctos/issues/comments/413328278","html_url":"https://github.com/ArctosDB/arctos/issues/1338#issuecomment-413328278","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/ArctosDB/arctos/issues/1338","id":413328278,"node_id":"MDEyOklzc3VlQ29tbWVudDQxMzMyODI3OA==","user":{"login":"Jegelewicz","id":5725767,"node_id":"MDQ6VXNlcjU3MjU3Njc=","avatar_url":"https://avatars1.githubusercontent.com/u/5725767?v=4","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/Jegelewicz","html_url":"https://github.com/Jegelewicz","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Jegelewicz/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Jegelewicz/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Jegelewicz/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Jegelewicz/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Jegelewicz/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Jegelewicz/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Jegelewicz/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Jegelewicz/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Jegelewicz/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2018-08-15T20:38:59Z","updated_at":"2018-08-15T20:38:59Z","author_association":"NONE","body":"> I like the idea of collection type-specific classifications to solve (at least part of) this problem of homonyms, as you mentioned, Dusty!\r\n\r\n\r\nThis would be OK, except for collections that cross higher taxa - a teaching or recent paleo collection for example.
