and tests designated genus names against genus names held, and genus+species
combinations against both genus only, and genus+species combinations as held in
my “IRMNG” reference database (search entry point is at <a
href="http://www.cmar.csiro.au/datacentre/irmng/">http://www.cmar.csiro.au/datacentre/irmng/</a>
if interested). I am also planning to implement a degree of cross-rank matching
shortly, e.g. if a subgenus is supplied, test this as a possible genus against
genus+species combinations (as this often turns out to be the reason for a
direct mismatch in practice), same with infraspecies vs. subspecies (my current
interface does not yet handle infraspecies, and just detect then “parks”
apparent subgenera, but the intention is to handle these as testable components
in due course).<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>Maybe I will set up the above options and
let you know as available for testing. Also I may look for genus+species
concatenated (think Homosapiens), genus+subgenus+species with missing brackets
around subgenus, and maybe other things, as per my somewhat extensive exposure
to otherwise non-resolved namestrings floating around in OBIS/GBIF data
provider space. Of course it is a slippery slope; other examples are family in
genus field and vice versa, or common name similar; genus and species reversed;
truncated names not flagged as such; abbreviated genera (which I already handle
as exact, but not fuzzy matches at this time, at least as “H. sapiens” etc.);
