Very good point!  I was a bit confused with that as well.  I derived "TCS"
from the "Taxonomic Concept Schema" documentation:

...which I guess is specifically in reference to the TDWG proposal (which is
where I first saw the use of the term "Assertion".

P.S. I'm in a workshop here in Hawaii for the CoML with a bunch of coral
reef folks.  Tomorrow I'm scheduled to talk about taxonomic databases, and I
plan to plug SEEK heavily.
