What if the digitizer is unable to enter a taxonomic name - perhaps due to it being illegible. Should the taxonomic name field be left empty or should we revert to the nearest higher taxonomy: "tracheophyta".
Give scenario(s) of why and when this could be relevant.
Digitizer cannot read the name on the label, or perhaps the label is missing.
Estimate level of effort required.
Easy
What is the expected acceptable result.
That zero "no name records" have empty name fields and that all have a meaningful name.
Like "incertae sedis" perhaps?
How to approach it?
Have default names for each discipline.
What could be the challenges ?
What should the default name be in each case?
What test are required ?
Test if blank input returns the expected default name.
