Need a service that explains why a taxon isn't in the synthetic tree #47

See https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/opentreeoflife-software/raWZ7hSfUpI . Argument would be an OTT id, e.g. as returned by TNRS. Result would be - I'm not sure, we need to decide this. If it was determined paraphyletic, the result could be e.g. a list of studies that conflict with the monophyly of that node. If missing for some other reason, such as the taxon being incertae sedis, that could be encoded somehow.

This service would be used by the front end to prepare a report or display that general users can understand.

This sounds like a treemachine issue to me. Why do you think this service belongs in taxomachine?

This issue is in the wrong repository. I will move it and close it here.
