TaxonHistory

Revision as of 10:40, 9 September 2012

tblTaxonHistory, history of concepts and nomenclature for protonyms.

• TaxonHistoryID, integer, 4 bytes, primary key, identifier for taxon name and concept.
• TaxonNameID, integer, 4 bytes, = tblTaxon.TaxonNameID, identifier for the monomial name (protonym) associated with the history.
• SeqNum, integer, 2 bytes, sequence number within this TaxonNameID, 1-based values without gaps.
• NomenclatorID, integer, 4 bytes, = tblNomenclator.NomenclatorID, identifier for binomial name associated with the history.
• CiteRefID, integer, 4 bytes, = tblRefs.RefID, identifier for the reference that defined the nomenclatural or concept change. May = 0 if change comes from other source explained in note or if the reference has not been identified.
• NewNameStatusID, integer, 4 bytes, status of name when changed
  • 0 = unspecified
  • 1 = unchanged
  • 2 = new taxon name
  • 3 = made a synonym
  • 4 = made valid or temporary
  • 5 = new combination
  • 6 = name deleted with no related name
  • 7 = name deleted because of duplicate protonym, related name can be found in tblRelatedHistory
  • 8 = genus or species lowered to nominotypical sub
  • 9 = nominotypical sub raised to genus or species
  • 10 = name replaced by nominotypical sub
  • 11 = new nominotypical sub
• ConceptChangeID, integer, 4 bytes, values in effect on completion of the change, permitted values:
  • 0 = unspecified
  • 1 = unchanged
  • 2 = new
  • 3 = restored
  • 4 = expanded
  • 5 = shrunk
  • 6 = modified
  • 7 = terminated
  • 8 = transferred
• OtherHistoryID, integer, 4 bytes, = tblTaxonHistory.TaxonHistoryID, identifier for the other history ID involved in a relationship change specified in RelatedHistoryID
• RelatedHistoryID, integer, 4 bytes, = tblRelatedHistory.RelatedHistoryID, identifier for the type of relationship to OtherHistoryID
• UserConfirmed, bit, 1 = user has confirmed data in this row or generated from user supplied data in tblCites
• UnreliableAssumption, bit, 1 = program used an unreliable assumption to create row
• ArbitraryRow, bit, 1 = arbitrary row generated by program to resolve conflict, user resolution needed
• Note, text, 300 characters maximum. When Status is set = 2, values for NomenclatorID and CiteRefID are set = 0, but those items are expanded to text in this column. When Status is set = 3, the domain name of the split out species file is placed in this column.
• Status, integer, 1 byte, status of the row
  • 0 = active
  • 1 = dormant, used for deleted nominotypical subs, which might be re-instated at a later time
  • 2 = artifact, used for rows erroneously added. The row cannot be deleted once TaxonHistoryID has been exposed in an LSID or other GUID for a taxon concept.
  • 3 = moved to other species file identified in Note
  • 4 = moved out of scope
• LastUpdate, smalldatetime, date and time row last updated
• ModifiedBy, integer, 4 bytes, FileUserID of the signon that made the change
• CreatedOn, smalldatetime, date and time row was created
• CreatedBy, integer, 4 bytes, FileUserID of the signon that created the row
