One final note, more of a question @sacrevert You mentioned you were concerned about grasses and mosses earlier. At the moment it treats these like an occurrence. So you will need to give more detail on your concern so I can provide any information you need.
I suppose this just relates to what the importer does if it cannot map a taxon. Nothing more than that really. For something like 'Grass', the user would need to change it to something recognisable by the taxon dictionary (e.g. Poaceae). I think I will just provide advice on this in the guidance document, as it is probably not sensible to provide lists of rules mapping every possible vague term thrown at the importer into a valid taxon category. Ultimately that is the user's responsibility.
AVB Response: Ah OK, yes I see what you mean, unless "Grass" was a specific common name it wouldn't find it. But I suppose at this point, shouldn't they be using at least common names? I have never tried importing something that is further up than the species level either.
Perhaps if I raise this separately as any issues wouldn't get fixed for this build anyway.
==DR response== If there are commonly used names in plot data we can add them into the dictionary. presumably an argument for having - 'Grasses', 'Lichens', 'Bare ground'
OP: No immediate action from AvB required. OP to provide terms for dictionary we he has looked through datasets thoroughly and decided which are necessary.
