[Taxacom] Scientific name vs Scientific name string

[Peter DeVries]

Maybe someone can make a proposal, or describe what they use?

Not a rule that everyone has to follow, but a suggested form that people can
use in conversation and when naming their database fields.

So what so you call these forms of the name:

Puma concolor (Linnaeus, 1771)
Felis concolor Linnaeus, 1771

and what do you call these forms of the name:

Puma concolor
Felis concolor

So they can be properly understood in conversation and in this form

<whatevernameforthis>Puma concolor (Linnaeus, 1771)</whatevernameforthis>

<whatevernameforthis>Felis concolor</whatevernameforthis>
