Separate taxon relations into species interaction and taxon concept relations #33

Closed mdoering closed 4 years ago

mdoering commented 4 years ago

It will be cleaner to separate out species interactions and taxon concept set relations. Species interactions also benefit from additional properties as the related species often are not part of the datasets taxa, but rather annotated verbatim names.

The proposal therefore is to replace TaxonRelation with

TaxonConceptRelation

SpeciesInteraction

Related taxa with just a scientificName can be dynamically linked in the CoL Clearinghouse to a) all datasets that treat the name or b) a specific dataset if the registered dataset is configured to do so (manually in dataset settings or inside the archive via coldps metadata.yaml)
