The goal of this site is to create a repository for the submission and management of common (or vernacular) names of organisms and organism groups (higher taxa). Specifically, I seek the capacity to
Enable providers (people) to create accounts for themselves. Anonymous providers may occur but would have limited capacities.
Providers can submit vernacular records in two ways. As a component of a vernacular names list, or as a single record.
Vernacular names lists can be submitted in two ways. As an unparsed list, where a provider uploads a list and leaves it to the site maintainers to parse and import it into the site, or as an imported list where the provider imports the list into a set of vernacular name records.
Providers may choose to manage records locally on the site or they may choose to provide updates via period uploads.
