Class: Catalog::Timeline

Inherits:
Catalog show all
Defined in:
lib/catalog/timeline.rb

Overview

A Catalog::Timeline is a catalog that merges biolgological concepts (OTUs) with their nomenclature.

Filtering intent:

Level 1: [Nomenclature (origin != 'otu'), Protonym (origin == 'protonym', OTU (biology), origin == 'otu'] - mutually exclusive
Level 2 (All): [First (is_first: true,) Valid (is_valid: true)]

Visualizing intent:

First valid - (origin: protonym, is_valid: true, is_first: true)
Origin - (origin)
