Open ManonGros opened 1 year ago
@yroskov @dhobern @NicBailly
With help from @NicBailly, I'm happy to do this. The new Chordata classification should fix the Reptilia question (as much as it can be addressed). If we have references for the other taxa, I can add authorship and include a reference.csv for them.
@ManonGros Hi Marie, not sure what you did to this one yesterday.
For information, the Reptilia part is now addressed on the COL side, at least in terms of indicating something relevant. The four "reptile" classes each now have Reptilia as an ambiguous synonym.
And, with some recent simplification, Actinopterygii is shown again just as a class.
Is there more than needs to be done here?
Thanks Donald, given that the classification changed again (since this issue was logged), I don't think we need to keep it open. Generally the question we got wasn't about the new organization as much as where to find the literature supporting the changes. I couldn't point the user to specific papers explaining the new classification (which is what they wanted).
Thanks - yes - this is a known issue. I want us to get to having relevant decision-oriented metadata attached to COL. I hope we get there soon.
@dhobern Should it be a point in the next COL TG meeting? I think a dedicated meeting with fewer people would be more efficient.
Hello CoL people,
We were recently on the GBIF helpdesk by a user who would like to know why the newest versions of the Classification no longer includes the reptiles and moved the actinopterygians to giga class. Ideally, they would like to have the reference (literature) used to make the decision. Could you help them out? Thanks!
