  2. ... nomenclators no longer spoke in terms of God or the divine name. Instead, current thinking held that there was a lexical universe as well as a physical one, and bringing an object together with a compatible name caused the latent potentialities of both to be realized. Nor was there a single 'true name' for a given object: depending on its precise shape, a body might be compatible with several names, known as its 'euonyms,' and conversely a simple name might tolerate significant variations in body shape ...

A name is required by Code to be published in print Codes prescribe name formation and curation of organic material; version management of print publications is difficult provide the primary entry point into STM literature and scientific databases play a prominent role in laws and regulations governing commerce, public safety, and public health may or may not be revised; may or may not have synonyms obsolesce in relation to changing taxonomic definition A name functions as an archival record of a taxonomic definition for a single point in time nomenclature Biological names

  27. disambiguation Disambiguation: the information model an event in which the state of a taxon is named in a publication name taxon a set oftaxa or exemplars defined by a nomos and maintained over time

  28. disambiguation Disambiguation: the information model a representation of an organism by reference to curated material and data exemplar a rule governing taxonomy; a methodology or heuristic for differentiating taxa by referenceto curated data describing attributes of their exemplars; a means of separating competing views; a namespace to differentiate one taxonomy from another nomos

  30. name taxon exemplar nomos dissemination Dissemination: the information objects Information objects are persistent, online, public documents. They instantiate name events and the taxon, exemplar, and nomos entities. Information objects provide metadata; they link to other information objects and to online information outside Names for Life. Information objects are easy to link to from online journals, databases, and similar resources.

  31. dissemination Dissemination: the information objects name • publication date • link to publication (DOI of journal article) • status with regard to a code of nomenclature • link to the information object representing any synonymousname • link to the information object representing the taxon

  32. dissemination Dissemination: the information objects taxon • date of most recent revision • link to the information object(s) representing name(s) that label this taxon • link to the supporting nomos • link to the taxon information object that contains this taxon • links to the information object(s) representing the contents of this taxon (taxa or exemplars) • for a taxon of exemplars: reference to exemplar-derived data required by the nomos

  33. dissemination Dissemination: the information objects exemplar • specimen identifier(s); link(s) to online collection records • identifier(s) of associated gene sequence(s); link(s) to database deposits • in the future: phenotypic data • link to the information object for the taxon containing the specimen; where competing views (nomoi) associate an exemplar with different taxa; there are links to each (overlapping) taxon information object

  34. dissemination Dissemination: the information objects nomos • label (e.g. ‘The Bergey’s Taxonomy’) • citation(s) • type(s) of the exemplar-derived data used to group exemplars into a taxon (gene locus, phenotypic feature) • link to the information object representing the taxon at the root of the taxonomy • count of the number of taxa supported by the nomos
