[Taxacom] Demise of Phyloinformatics journal

[Richard Petit]

This posting is a request for clarification and should not be taken 
otherwise.

As I read ICZN Article 8.6, in order for any paper in Phyloinformatics to 
have been "published" at least five copies are on deposit in major libraries 
which are identified in the work.  This means that CDs are available 
somewhere.

My real question is why is there a difference in the demise of an on-line 
publication and a publishing company?  There are numerous systematic works 
published in the past decade by "publishers" who are either out of business 
or never existed except by name on the publication.
