there is more than one reason why a record might be 'suppressed' - should this be indicated? IF currently supresses three types of record:
1. orthographic variants (one to many) 2. deprecated records (either absolute duplicates or keyboarding/OCR/other 'duplicates') 3. unpublished names (e.g. from 'herbarium' specimens or BRCs (a.k.a. culture collection)
all these have a 'isReplacedBy' pointer ...

Hi all
Having gone through my notes from GUIDs 2 I realise we need a couple of tags in the IPNI metadata - any suggestions for what would be a good standard term to use?
We need something to tag version, and something to indicate that a record has been suppressed (rather than just reporting 'not found') We will use Darwin Core's 'isReplacedBy' for records that have been suppressed in favour of another record
