Re: Topic 3: (Fauna Europaea and gender agreement) GUIDs for Taxon Names and Taxon Concepts

Hi Donald,

You asked Yde:

Can you explain a little more about how you handle epithet agreement ("gender unequivalencies") in this system? I realise this is tangential from the main GUID discussion, but it does seem to be a complication to the task of treating the epithet as the primary unit.

My question to you: why would epithet gender agreement be a complication to the task of treating the epithet as the primary unit? I'm not sure if I follow.

Aloha, Rich
