[Taxacom] source of quote about keys: PS

YIKES!  Two concurrent threads, and we've already hit on a homonym!

I can't tell you how much further the biodiversity informatics community
would be if only we weren't "separated by a common language" (another old
quote that would probably be hard to track to its origin -- just to tie it
back into this thread).  Ask a computer programmer and a taxonomist the
definitions of these words, and you'll get some amazingly disparate answers:

Classs
Order
Type
Name*
Agent
Publish
Identify
Natural Key
etc...

Aloha,
Rich

(*Actually, ask any two *taxonomists* to define "name", and you'll likely
get amazingly disparate answers...)
