20. The problem with scientific names
• No comprehensive catalog of species
• Names ≠ species
• The species problem – species concepts
• Competing classifications / phylogenies
• Many names for one taxon
• One name for many taxa
• ‘Names’ are more than code-compliant scientific names
21. A working solution
• Inclusive
– Accommodate alternate perspectives
• Reconciliation
– Map names among and between each other
• Disambiguation
– Context to assign homonymic names to rightful place
