[seek-taxon] double references in TCS?

[Kennedy, Jessie]

Hi Bob

have added this as something to consider for the schema, but talking to Roger his take on this rule in the code was to allow you to refer the first publication as the one in which case we don't need to change the schema. But we'll see if others have a different interpretation of this. It would be nice not to have to represent this rule in every data entry that it refers to but let's see.

see you soon,

Jessie
