Add genus, specificEpithet and infraspecificEpithet

Could be generated from the scientificName with the GBIF name parser. We could then choose one of the following approaches:

Add as 3 columns to source file

Bulk of it could be populated once with GBIF name parser and then maintained manually.

Main advantage: speed + control

Add as 3 columns in mapping

Would have to be parsed every time (slowing down the publication)

Main advantage: no maintenance

Example: http://api.gbif.org/v1/parser/name?name=Amaranthus%20hybridus%20L.%20subsp.%20hybridus%20var.%20hybridus

Could the parser be called as part of the script, or does this mean adding a step?

[peterdesmet]

It could be called as part of the script

It would be good to have an answer on this question in the meantime: (see #23)

Chenopodium album L. x hircinum can be interpreted as:

• A named subspecies hybrid of Chenopodium album>
• A hybrid formula: Chenopodium album L. x Chenopodium hircinum L.
  If the latter, I would spell out the name in full. It's best to do this for all hybrid formulas.

[peterdesmet]

Agreed. Name should either be:

• Chenopodium album L. subsp. x hircinum
• Chenopodium album L. x Chenopodium hircinum
