Description
Create a source-qualified taxon-concept label.
Taxonomic names, authorship strings, nomenclatural types and source-defined taxon concepts are related but distinct records. A literal token parser or source-label comparison can preserve a stated convention without resolving accepted taxonomy or establishing compliance with the applicable nomenclatural code.
Create a source-qualified taxon-concept label.
When to use this tool
Use Taxon Name Concept Label Disambiguator when checking the stated taxonomic source, name-token, date or concept-support convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter name, accordingTo, conceptId. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read display, key. Use the output convention below.
Create a source-qualified taxon-concept label. Require nonempty name/accordingTo/conceptId; display = name plus sec. and source label, key serializes all three.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| name | Name | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| accordingTo | According To | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| conceptId | Concept Id | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| display | Display | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| key | Serialized literal record key; uniqueness or matching does not authenticate the source. | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
{
"input": {
"name": "Aus bus",
"accordingTo": "Author 2020",
"conceptId": "C1"
},
"output": {
"display": "Aus bus sec. Author 2020",
"key": "[\"Aus bus\",\"Author 2020\",\"C1\"]"
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- This distinguishes asserted concept records without verifying circumscription, synonymy, accepted status or the cited source.
- 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 original taxonomic treatment and applicable nomenclatural code, and use source-aware taxonomic resolution for accepted names, priority or type status.
