[SEEK-Taxon] Re: LinneanCore Group Work - PART 2

[Sally Hinchcliffe]

all,

Forgive me, it's early on a Friday after a long week ...

Am I right or wrong in thinking that TCS needs the author and 
publication fields in its schema to document the author and 
publication details of the _concept_. LC needs the author and 
publication fields in _its_ schema to document the author and 
publication details of the _name_(s.l.). When the TCS is 
transferring data about original concepts (Aus bus Smith sensu 
Smith) then that data ('Smith', Journal of Good Housekeeping or 
whatever) will be duplicated. When the TCS is transferring data 
about a new concept (Aus bus Smith sensu Brown) then the data 
(Smith, Brown, Journal of Good Housekeeping, Goatbreeders 
monthly) will be different.

Or is Jessie's point that the LC should not be passing the author 
and publication information at all just some fields ('Aus', 'bus')? In 
which case, in the second example, where does the 'Smith' bit go?

Or are we arguing about something different & I've missed the point 
about where LC and TCS are starting to overlap?

examples needed ...
