Taxon name

Only species have a property with their name without parents and authority.

scientificName: The full scientific name, with authorship and date information if known. When forming part of a dwc:Identification, this should be the name in lowest level taxonomic rank that can be determined. This term should not contain identification qualifications, which should instead be supplied in the dwc:identificationQualifier term.

This seems to be true for species, subspecies and varietis, but not for rank genus.

The Taxon.tsv is missing a filed containing the uninomial name for taxa above rank genus. This may be fixed by using a different export format

The ColIDP Format has the following columns in the NameUsage.tsv file:

• col:ID
• col:alternativeID
• col:nameAlternativeID
• col:sourceID
• col:parentID
• col:basionymID
• col:status

It might also be possible to "hack" uninomial names:

PREFIX dwc: <http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/>
PREFIX rdf: <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#>

CONSTRUCT {
  ?taxon dwc:scientificName ?scientificName ;
         dwc:scientificNameAuthorship ?author ;
         dwc:rank ?rank ;
         ?rankIri ?uninomen .
} WHERE {
  BIND(<https://www.catalogueoflife.org/data/taxon/87BXZ> as ?taxon)
  ?taxon dwc:scientificName ?scientificName ;
         dwc:scientificNameAuthorship ?author ;
         dwc:rank ?rank .
  BIND(IRI(CONCAT("http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/", ?rank)) as ?rankIri)
  BIND(STRBEFORE(?scientificName, CONCAT(" ", ?author)) as ?uninomen)
}

But this seems rather fragile.
