[Taxacom] PhyloCode

[Kenneth Kinman]

Hi All,
       This talk of numerous parallel naming systems reminds me of the confusion that has resulted from PhyloCode.  Those problems were noted long ago in the 2003 article "The PhyloCode Is Fatally Flawed, and the “Linnaean” System Can Easily Be Fixed".  https://www.researchgate.net/publication/225117136_The_PhyloCode_Is_Fatally_Flawed_and_the_Linnaean_System_Can_Easily_Be_Fixed

NCBI Taxonomy is the main taxonomic source for several bioinformatics tools and databases since all organisms with sequence accessions deposited on INSDC are organized in its hierarchical structure.
