Backbone: Explore exclusions based on parts of the name

Open timrobertson100 opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

An analysis by B. Mesibov shows that the backbone would benefit by applying exclusions based on name patterns (i.e. parts of names). This is currently not possible in the existing codebase, but something that is worth exploring.

Please see these for more context.

Yes we should explore to do that. Right now we rely on the name parser to flag names as informal, doubtful or no names at all. As this is more reusable we should focus on the parser, but utilize some new path in the backbone build for cases that the parser cannot deal with well.

There is also still an open issue for names discovered by Bob in the above docs: https://github.com/gbif/name-parser/issues/65
