<p class="MsoNormal">I'm assuming that these would go into an extension file. Do I have this right? What I'm having more trouble with is determining the right column term. there's dwc:vernacularName, which is also in the examples, but what about synonyms of
different types that come with taxonomies (such as NCBI's) or that result from merging taxonomies. There isn't an obvious candidate in DwC, and the list at <a href="http://rs.gbif.org/core/dwc_taxon.xml">http://rs.gbif.org/core/dwc_taxon.xml</a> doesn't have
a suggestion either that would seem pertinent.<o:p></o:p></p>
