Misapplication of terms "ChecklistBank" and "Clearinghouse" #78

Closed yroskov closed 3 years ago

yroskov commented 4 years ago

Semantically Illogical application of the term "ChecklistBank" to the software component.

ChecklistBank is a warehouse with a set of different source datasets and projects.

Clearinghouse is a tool (software) for managing these data and projects.

ChecklistBank has been selected as the better name for "Clearinghouse". See https://www.dev.catalogue.life/content/checklistbank.html and https://www.dev.catalogue.life/content/colpipeline.html

Moved to general repo for discussion.

Personally I think it makes sense. It is an evolution from GBIFs ChecklistBank, adding more tools to work with the indexed checklists.
