Taxon matching improvements #75

Closed pieterprovoost closed 1 year ago

pieterprovoost commented 1 year ago

@SSuominen1 This is a proposal to change how taxon matching works. The current version matches species and genus names with WoRMS to populate scientificNameID. This update matches names at all taxonomic levels and populates all taxonomic fields with the most specific WoRMS match. This ensures that the taxonomy in the output if fully aligned with WoRMS. The original lineage goes into verbatimIdentification.
