Hi All,

Based on the discussions with Matthew and Matt, i have created another
mockup of the taxonomical coverage page. There is a main page and a dialog
page.

Main page now contains a 6-col table whose cols are -
1. Non editable Label that displays the parent taxa hierarchy. It is set 
after the user enter the hierarchy information in the dialog box
2. Immediate Parent taxon rank
3. Imm Parent taxon name
4. taxon rank (of current taxon)
5. taxon name
6. Common name of the taxon

Since most entries are likely to be specified at just 1 or 2 levels, like
Genus/Species, the table contains fields to enter the immediate parent. 
To enter the entire hierarchy and their common names, a new dialog is 
presented. 

Dialog has a list to specify the parent taxa information. We can initially 
have the list populated with the hierarchy ranks like kingdom, division 
etc.. The user can add/delete/insert ranks and their names into this list.
This hierarchy is displayed as a non-editable string in the first col in 
the main-page.

Any thoughts/comments on this??

thanks
-Perumal
