EDIT

(Discussion with Norbert)

We need 4 types of representing a Person in CDM:

• Taxonname author (nomenclatural author) => abbreviated form, exists

• Taxonname reference author: pure family name with suffix, if exists; used for the inreference part of the nomencl. reference

• Author of generic references (bibliographic Author): Familyname with following firstname initials (no comma, at least in BGBM)

• Collector: Firstname abbreviated and full family name, exceptions exist (no standard exists)

So for Person we need a new field collector.

Also we may need a cache field for Taxonname reference author, however, as this is easy to compute from family name we may start with having no such field. But the problem may start on Team level, where we need cache representation for all 4 of them including protectedXXX fields. => not really necessary, current implementation uses family names of team members, a cache field with protection is not really needed for now

Good sources for (botanical) persons are:

• Index of Botanists: http://kiki.huh.harvard.edu/databases/botanist_index.html

• IPNI: http://www.ipni.org/

already added collector title. Open issues:
