We based a lot of the CoL+ models on TCS especially the name relationship types: https://github.com/tdwg/tcs/blob/master/TCS101/v101.xsd#L683 See also the very useful guide with lots of examples: https://github.com/tdwg/tcs/blob/master/TCS101/UserGuidev_1.3.pdf I wonder how...

quick notes, @mjy. TCS is deals clearly also with `` not just ``s even if it might do so less detailed than NOMEN. IPNI is actually exposed as TCS. Secondly...

When looking at a synonymy full of Chresonyms we see as real input to the CoL I think we can flag likely chresonyms in many cases: http://reptile-database.reptarium.cz/species?genus=Aspidoscelis&species=tigris You can easily...

GBIF accepts any contributions to the repository, both via pull requests and most often personally emailed contributions. It is important to have some review process for adding and changing extensions,...

Are there any notes online yet about this group? I am curious why it had been created

I agree with excluding the position in the classification, the "context", from the taxon concept identity. A for the included species we should find a way to allow newly described...

Would we want a genus concept to change when a brand new species gets added? It would mean genus identifiers change quite a lot over time and we lose stability....

Right, the genus concept changes when a new species is added when you look at the included species. But is this really useful for anyone? It seems to me it...

Three implementations dealing with tracking taxon concept changes: - [Avibase.pdf](https://github.com/Sp2000/colplus/files/987182/Avibase.pdf) - [Dyntaxa 1.5 Taxon changes](https://github.com/Sp2000/colplus/files/987187/Kindvall2015Dyntaxa.pdf) - [iNaturalist](http://www.inaturalist.org/pages/curator+guide#changes)

Should the identity stay if just the name changes? E.g. some of the synonyms gets accepted or if the name changes its rank, e.g. a species will be considered a...
