My thought was that it aided in composability of scientific names. It sortof violated some database normalization impulse of mine; we've already captured that Dogs are a subspecies of lupus (itself a species in the genus Canis), so having the scientific name for species and subspecies include that redundant data could make it more difficult to work with scientific names programmatically. It also fell in line with the usage of the Scientific Name field of higher-level Organism Classifications. <br /> <br /> If that's not how it should be, I think I messed up pretty much all of the species and subspecies under <a href='/view/%239202a8c04000641f8000000005c9553a'>Caninae</a>...</p> http://www.freebase.com:80/view/guid/9202a8c04000641f8000000005de30b5 Hey Jeff, I'm unfamiliar with scientific naming schemes for organism classifications, so I'm sure... rictic: Scientific name for Dog 2007-10-02T02:41:00.0007Z rictic http://www.freebase.com:80/view/user/rictic <p>Hey Jeff,<br /> <br /> I'm unfamiliar with scientific naming schemes for organism classifications, so I'm sure I'm probably wrong.
