[tcs-lc] New Version of TCS announced

[Richard Pyle]

Many thanks, Jessie!

I just had a quick look, and it seems that LC has been taken out of
TaxonConcepts/Name and placed instead in the top-level NameObjects/
container; and that the Name element & substructure within TaxonConcept has
been replaced with a single "Name" element to refer to a Name Object.

It also seems that ScientificName (LC) has been re-worked a bit internally.

Does this summarize the main differences between this version and 0.95? Or
am I missing something?

I'll have to digest this a bit more to make sure I understand the
implications.  At first glance, I think I still prefer treating the
"Nominal"-type TaxonConcept as the container for Name-object data (under
TaxonConcept).  But at this point, I don't think there is enough time to
wait for another major revision.

Aloha,
Rich

Dear All,
As promised (and thanks for your patience..) we have now finished the
version  (v0.95.2) of TCS with Name objects as top level elements and have
published this on the TCS Wiki with relevant documentation and example.
http://www.soc.napier.ac.uk/tdwg/
Please have a look at this version and let us know your thoughts on it.
Email to the list or write to the Wiki on the VortingDraftDiscussion page.

We are assuming that this will be the version to be developed further but of
course you might prefer version 0.95 - in which case we would like to know
if that's the case ASAP.
Assuming v0.95.2 is taken further, Roger is maintinaing a version change
system where we will publicise changes being considered for the schema and
progress on these. An email regarding this will follow in due course.
Roger is working on a user guide which he will publish when it's a bit
further on.
best wishes,
Jessie
