[Taxacom] ZooBank revisionism!

[Stephen Thorpe]

PS: I strongly urge everybody to lobby for the retroactive scrapping altogether of the archive specification requirement for online publication. That seems to me to be the only viable permanent solution to this problem. It was an empty requirement anyway, since no actual archiving is required, so it should just be turned into a recommendation, not a rule.

  Hi Stephen,
  
  You are correct: ZooBank has
  been revised. In response to the recent kerfuffle, and to
  save myself some time in cases where people want to know
  when an archive has been added to the ZooBank record (if,
  indeed, the consensus ends up being to go with the “work
  is available when all criteria have been fulfilled”
  approach), I have changed the ZooBank website to display
 the
  date & time on which the record was updated to show
 the
  Online Archive has been added.  So, if you look at the
 Sys.
  Ent. Record (http://zoobank.org/94AA9CFD-6807-409B-BCC0-863D0AACA0CC),
  you’ll see it listed as:
  “CLOCKSS
  (added: Jan 29 2016 10:02AM UTC) [http://www.clockss.org]”
  
  This is NOT a permanent
  solution! However, it should address the immediate
 concern,
  and (perhaps) save me more time in the long run than it
 took
  me to add this stop-gap feature.  If our pending grant
  proposal to expand ZooBank functionality is awarded, we
 will
  dramatically improve the overall site, including this
  feature.
  
  Aloha,
  Rich
