Description
Label a supplied name-usage status.
Taxonomic records preserve author wording, publication sources, parent assignments and nomenclatural context. Parenthesizing an author is a formatting choice, and a supplied year field need not be restricted to modern calendar years. A source-qualified relationship does not establish accepted classification, valid publication or identity.
Label a supplied name-usage status.
When to use this tool
Use Name Usage Accepted Synonym Label when you already have nameUsageId, recordedStatus and need to label a supplied name-usage status.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter nameUsageId, recordedStatus. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read label. Use the output convention below.
Require nameUsageId nonempty and status accepted/synonym/unresolved/misapplied/unspecified; append it.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| nameUsageId | Name Usage Id | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| recordedStatus | Recorded Status | Required. Text; one of "accepted", "synonym", "unresolved", "misapplied", "unspecified"; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| label | Label | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
{
"input": {
"nameUsageId": "NU17",
"recordedStatus": "synonym"
},
"output": {
"label": "NU17 [synonym]"
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- Status is a supplied assertion, not a registry lookup, accepted-name resolution, nomenclatural judgment or biological identification.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Consult the relevant specimens, original publications and controlled nomenclatural sources. Use complete taxonomic evidence and applicable codes for a classification decision; local formatting and keys do not adjudicate names or relationships.
