Taxon Editor in 1 week

[mdoering]

I think we can build a basic taxonomic editor in one week by adding a few features to the assembly tree mostly, making use of TextTree as a batch input format.

Assembly Tree changes The Modify Tree tab of the project assembly tree is the main editor which would need a few simple changes only:

• [ ] form to enter children as text tree input. This can be copy pasted and contain a few lines of unindented children only, but could already be a full genus treatment or a highly nested tree including synonyms and basionym relation. The extinction flag can be set by prefixing the name with the dagger symbol. The rank should be given in square brackets and additional optional information can be given in curly brackets in a fixed & simple key value format that allows for list values, e.g. [species] {PUB=Miller2019 ENV=terrestrial,marine REF=Döring2021,Banki2022}. Reference IDs must already exist and managed separately
• [x] Context menu option to download and replace a tree node with TextTree
• [ ] Context menu option to turn a name and all its children into synonyms
• [ ] Ask to turn names into synonyms when dragged onto a name of the same rank
• [ ] Context menu option to declare a synonym to be the basionym or remove it
• [ ] Show taxon info on right pane if enabled at the top via a toggle. Hide source pane in Modify Tree mode in all cases. The taxon info should avoid repeating tree information (classification, metrics), but should otherwise show all other infos like name/taxon relations, vernacular names, etc. Ultimately we would want an editor for this extended taxon information
• [ ] Project setting to enable sectors and decisions. Simple data projects would want to just manage their data and not use sectors, decisions and syncs to continously copy data from other datasets. It would simplify the project UI if there is a project setting that enables all this, but which would be disabled by default.

Other Needs

• [ ] Reference management improvements?
• [ ] Vernacular name and distribution editing via flat, downloadable spreadsheets
• [x] User/editor management
• [x] Quick access to projects where you have editing rights

It would be great if the UI would allow to copy/paste TextTree from trees with multiple rows/names selected

2 TextTree methods to read and write are available in the dev API:

GET Accept: text/plain /dataset/{datasetKey}/nameusage/{taxonID}/tree POST Content-Type: text/plain /dataset/{datasetKey}/nameusage/{taxonID}/tree
