Taxonomic Coverage page mockup

[Perumal Sambasivam]

Hi All,

For the taxonomic coverage page, I have a preliminary mockup (pls see the 
attachment).

It consists of - 

1. A list for entering taxon names. The list consists of 7 columns for
each level of classification. A user could add a species name and specify
all the names in the hierarchy. There is also a column for the common
names.  It will be a dropdown box of all the common names of the whole
hierarchy. If user wants to add a common name, a dialog box is presented
with a customlist for each level and the user can add a common name to any
level.

2. The user can import the taxon data from a particular table. The column 
values will be read, an ITIS lookup will be done for each value to 
determine its level and values in the hierarchy above it and the values 
will be added to the above list. The user can edit any value, if needed.

3. The user can also optionally specify a new Classification system and 
identifier.


Please let me know your comments/feedback on this.

Thanks!
-Perumal
