Record Label : biological_taxon_identifier
Record Title : Biological Taxon Identifier
CF Standard Name : biological_taxon_identifier
Record Description : "Biological taxon" is a name or other label identifying an organism or a group of organisms as belonging to a unit of classification in a hierarchical taxonomy. The quantity with standard name biological_taxon_identifier is the machine-readable identifier for the taxon registration in either WoRMS (the AphiaID) or ITIS (the taxonomic serial number or TSN), including namespace. The namespace strings are 'aphia:' or 'tsn:'. For example, Calanus finmarchicus is encoded as either 'aphia:104464' or 'tsn:85272'. For the marine domain WoRMS has more complete coverage and so aphia Ids are preferred. See Section 6.1.2 of the CF convention (version 1.8 or later) for information about biological taxon auxiliary coordinate variables.
