[seek-taxon] TCS help: Placeholder question

[Kennedy, Jessie]

Hi Bob

I think Robert has an older version of the schema which uses an EML like
publication - I'm happy if you use either that or directly the one from
EML - I think we based it on EML anyway.

For specimens feel free to use ABCD but it's very big - not sure how
much of it you'll need. I think it would be safe to use a valid subset
of it if necessary. This is something I hope will get sorted out via
TDWG when we look at modularising the schemas.
