Description:

Is it possible to put cultivar names into the plant classification list?

Comment by Laurence Livermore

There is a separate code for this "International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants" which would need to be considered by the Support Team.

We have had other requests while conducting workshops (notably eMonocot ones).

Adding support for this may broaden the potential audience of Scratchpads.

Comment by Genlin Jiao

for the time-being, I had used single quotation marks to indicate the cultivar names.

Comment by Dimitrios Koureas

We should consider adding the following options when classifying a biological classification:

ICNB (International Code of Nomenclature of Bacteria)
ICNCP (International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants)
ICVCN (International Code of Virus Classifications and Nomenclature)

We should also rename the options Animal, Algae/fungi/plants to ICZN and ICN. This will:

allow us to support better nomenclatural annotation in the trees in the future and also
help users understand the purpose of defining their classification.

Comment by Dimitrios Koureas

After further discussion the following changes are suggested to be made to the types of biological classifications:

Replace Animals with Animals (ICZN)
Replace Algae/Fungi/Plants with Algae/Fungi/Plants (ICN)
Add Cultivated Plants (ICNCP)
Replace Monera with Bacteria (ICNB)

The added type should clone the current Algae/Fungi/Plants profile until we make the necessary changes to it to conform with the Code.

Comment by Simon Rycroft

We should make all of these changes at once, rather than confusing the users with meaningless options. Please make a list of the changes required for each of the codes.

A new specification file will be created for nomenclatural annotation of taxonomies under the ICZN, ICN and ICNCP codes. This will be ready by the end of August 2013

I look forward to August 2013!
