Richard Pyle - Implementing the Digital Taxonomic Revolution: Strategies for ...ICZN
The document discusses three scenarios for implementing a web-based registry of taxonomic names:
1. Publication + Registration = Availability. Names must be published according to ICZN rules and registered. Registration can occur before or after publication.
2. Registration = Availability. Only registration is required for availability. Publication is encouraged but not required.
3. Registration = Publication = Availability. The registration website hosts an online peer-reviewed journal where all names must be published. Submitted manuscripts are open to public review.
The scenarios are evaluated based on their advantages like simplifying procedures, and disadvantages like potential changes required to the ICZN Code. Scenario 3 proposes the most significant changes but
